Health & Wellness Initiatives
Our Wellness Committee is broad-based representation of teachers, parents, health professionals, food service providers, and administrators. In its advisory role, the committee meets three times per year to review nutrition, nutrition education, health education and physical education/activity, to promote student health and wellness in an effort reduce childhood obesity and diet-related diseases. In addition this committee was instrumental in drafting the Pearl River Wellness Policy adopted by the Board of Education.

Pearl River works collaboratively with the Rockland County Health Department's School Health Program to promote community and school health and wellness activities.
Working with resources from the CDC, NYSED Health Services, the District Medical Director, school nurses, food allergy research and education, sample protocols and district legal review, the Wellness Committee developed generalized Food in Schools-Allergy Management Protocols. The goal is to provide a safe environment, where students become increasingly self-managed in both prevention and treatment. As with all health concerns, it is important that parents/guardians contact the building administrator and school nurse to meet the individual needs of the student.
