Newsletters
In Spring 2021, Lake Travis ISD's School Health Advisory Committee (SHAC) decided to create a newsletter to share information that will help families and the community support student health in the areas of nutrition, physical activity, social and emotional wellness, and health education.
"The Whole School, Whole Community, Whole Child (WSCC) model is CDC’s framework for addressing health in schools. The model focuses on the student and emphasizes the collaboration between schools, communities, public health, and health care sectors to align resources in support of the whole child." -U.S. Centers for Disease Control & Prevention
Notice at the center of the WSCC model is a child. We believe every child should be safe, healthy, challenged, supported, and engaged. This is achieved through the supportive structures of the family, school, and community surrounding the child.
