RESUMEN
Local school wellness policies (LWP) guide school districts' efforts to establish school environments that promote students' health, well-being, and ability to learn that include school U.S. Department of Agriculture nutrition and physical activity requirements. Looking through the lens of the Whole School, Whole Community, Whole Child model and NASN's Framework for 21st Century School Nursing Practice™, LWP can be expanded beyond the tradition focus of nutrition and physical activity to address the health and academic needs of students with chronic health conditions. School nurses need to be actively involved on district wellness councils as schools prepare to conduct their required triennial assessment of current LWP equipped with an understanding of the Alliance for a Healthier Generations' updated model wellness policy and NASN's supplemental wellness policy language to address management of students with chronic health conditions.
