Vision Statement

All scholars attending Wayside Schools will be ensured a safe, healthy environment with appropriate quality information to achieve the highest possible sense of self-control, self-esteem and self-reliance as preparation for adulthood. For this reason, the purpose of a comprehensive school health education program is twofold: first, to consider the total human being in the educational process, and second, to motivate students to help themselves and others to live healthy productive lives by taking an inter-generational approach to learning.

Mission Statement

The mission of the WSNWC is to ensure that all children in the network, grades PreK- 12, will have healthy bodies and minds through continuous health and physical education programs along with good nutrition, teaching them to appreciate and adopt a lifestyle of healthy living.

Goal

The goal of the WSNWC is to advise and actively communicate to Wayside Schools decision-making regarding scholar and staff needs and education related to health knowledge and skills, policies and procedures that impact scholar and staff health and the health of the school environment.
