School Wellness

A healthy school environment, supported by healthy staff, fosters increased student learning.

MMSD will be a place where all students and staff are and feel healthy, safe, supported, engaged and challenged. The Board of Education recognizes that physical, social-emotional and mental health and well-being are linked to academic achievement and college, career and community readiness. In partnership with families and the community, the District aims to establish and maintain healthy, safe, welcoming and just learning environments and experiences where students, staff and families can thrive. As a system committed to anti-racism, equity and belonging, the District is committed to dismantling health inequities and eliminating disparities to ensure optimal health and well-being for our entire learning community.
