Successful Students Scorecard

Welcome! The Successful Students Scorecard will help you learn more about your school's implementation of your district's USDA-required Local Wellness Policy. Completing the Successful Students Scorecard also earns your school designation as a Successful Students School, just for answering the questions!

The USDA-required Local Wellness Policies, when implemented, create school environments that promote healthy eating and physical activity. The Successful Students Scorecard will help you assess how your school is doing now in its implementation and will guide you to resources that can help move your school closer toward achieving your Local Wellness Policy goals.

This is how the Scorecard works:

First, print the Scorecard questions. Use the Scorecard questions to talk to the people within your school who know the answers to the questions. This is a valuable exercise if you do nothing else with the Scorecard! The following individuals may be of help:

  • Cafeteria manager
  • Physical Education teacher
  • Health Education teacher
  • Principal
  • School nurse
  • School PTA/PTO president
  • Coaches

After getting input on the Scorecard questions, enter your answers here.

You will have the option of sharing your report with others. You will also have the opportunity to download the Successful Students School promotional materials. These materials include:

  • a banner for your school's Web site
  • a fill-in-the blank press release about your school's Successful Students designation
  • a Successful Students banner
  • a Successful Students certificate suitable for framing
