Young women drinking a bottle of water after a workout. Our staff wellness policy promotes the well being of all school employees.  Our goal is to promote programs that will result in healthier staff members who will serve as positive role models for our students and community. 

DPISD has set a goal to promote staff wellness as a part of our Wellness Policy.

  • DPISD schools will make physical activity facilities available to staff after school hours.
  • DPISD will post health information and links to health web sites on the DPISD staff webpage.
  • DPISD nutrition services will provide staff with healthy food choices.

Please contact your school nurse for more information.
