What is the Healthy Schools 6-Step Process?
Implement, monitor,
and modify (as
needed) the
activities in your
action plan.
Establish a team of
diverse members of the
school community
committed to making your
school a healthy school.
Identify the priority health
topic that your school
team will be addressing
for the school year.
Locate and/or collect
key information
relating to your school
needs, assets, and
opportunities in order
to make informed
decisions throughout
the rest of the Healthy
Schools process.
Develop an action
plan demonstrating
how your school
will address your
priority health
topic in a
comprehensive
way across the five
areas of the
Foundations for a
Healthy School
resource.
Celebrate your school team’s
successes and reflect on the healthy
schools activities implemented
