3. Q2: Water fountains at my school are clean and in good working condition

4. COMMENTS
•We need more water bottle filling stations
•I would like to see refill stations for water bottles
•Would benefit from a "Bottle Filling" spout
•The student bathrooms & water fountain next to the playground were removed. I do believe there should be a working water fountain by the playground
•They often don't work. The water barely comes out and it is impossible for a whole class to get a drink. The water is warm and doesn't taste very good
•Students don't like using them because the water comes out warm due to their location to the sun, especially the one by the C building bathrooms
•I pay for Palomar Spring Water out of pocket for my classroom use
•Many of the fountains in the PE area do not work at all. Work orders have been put in, but they have not been fixed
•Especially the two on the field which need to be in working order. Sometimes there are 4 p.e classes on the field at once with students in each class, and usually only one facet is useable
•The fountain by tennis courts is not functional frequently
•I have never heard a kid say that they were broken or gross.
Some of them are
•They are clean, but there are a lot of fountains that are broken
•The children have told me that only one is working at one of the fountains outside
Q2: Water fountains at my school are clean and in good working condition
•Not very clean
•I don't know if they are clean but they don't look inviting and many of our SPED students lick them
•disgusting, low water pressure, very dirty
•Sometimes they are pretty nasty

5. Q3: The staff and parent/student organizations at my school are encouraged to use healthy food items or non-food items for fundraising purposes

6. COMMENTS
•I don't believe so
•Don't agree that fundraisers need to be healthy
•Yes for non food items, but cookie dough is not necessarily healthy
•Fundraising, possibly, class treats from home=no
•We are not allowed to sell any food items for fundraising
•We have the Fun Run
•I see both food and non-food fundraisers being used

7. Q4: All students are provided opportunities for moderate to vigorous physical activity on a regular basis

8. COMMENTS
Classes are required to do PE although there is very little equipment to play with
I feel PE should be a 4 year requirement. So for 2 years out of 4 I would agree opportunities offered, but not taken advantage of. Kids hate PE
If regular basis is each class period, I would say no. Many students miss their p.e time for speech, and other pull out programs that are either academic, or behavior related
Our field has been closed for 3 months due to ants!
Q4: All students are provided opportunities for moderate to vigorous physical activity on a regular basis

9. Q5: I am aware that there are nutritional requirements for all foods and beverages sold to students during the school day by all entities (cafeteria, student stores, vending machines, club fundraisers, etc.) CDE- Competitive Foods and Beverages

Q5: I am aware that there are nutritional requirements for all foods and beverages sold to students during the school day by all entities (cafeteria, student stores, vending machines, club fundraisers, etc.) CDE- Competitive Foods and Beverages
The nutritional guidelines are skewed if we compare the foods served
Why ask if I agree or disagree whether I am aware?
But i don't agree with them
Why is this not a yes/no question?

11. Q6: Staff are encouraged to serve as positive role models for healthy eating and physical fitness

12. COMMENTS
I think we try to be positive role models, but this has not been mandated by administration
Negative role models also have a place
I have never heard encouragement, but I don't see horribly unhealthy behaviors in adults
Never encountered this model at our site and I have been here since we opened
ASB serves pizza too often in my opinion
I've never been "told" to do this - - I just do!

Q7: School staff avoid the use of non-nutritious foods (ex. candy) as a reward for students academic performance, accomplishments, or classroom behavior

14. COMMENTS
Ice Cream used as treat/award
Some do , some don't
Some staff still use candy/soda/etc as a reward. I do not agree with this.
I do believe there are staff members who give candy to students.
I don't give out candy or sweet treats, but many others definitely do use candy as a reward or treat
Treats are with parent permission and consent
Personally, I think a little piece of candy once in awhile for a job well done is okay.
I do, but I cannot say what others choose to do.
Teachers are told not to... but a lot use soda or candy for rewards
Based on hear-say

15. Q8: My school promotes employee wellness programs and encourages regular activity among staff

16. COMMENTS
Assistant Principal Heather Just runs a "fit girls" club that encourages healthy eating and exercise in the fitness lab, but that is the only "program" of which I am aware.
It would be nice. I don't believe they are interested in us personally,
If you don't mean health care, what are you talking about?
Never heard of anything like this
Promoted Crunch Fitness gym membership/discount
We need this!
I like chocolate

17. Q9: My school site encourages healthy eating habits by limiting the amount of non-nutritious foods available to the students for classroom celebrations, holidays, birthdays, etc.

18. COMMENTS
Avoid juices for kids
I have not asked about the actual rules being followed here
We don't do classroom celebrations
ASB serves pizza for all recognition events
If only!! I see so much "crud" given to the kids. The snacks sold by the PTA are full of sugar and fake colors!
But, everyone needs a little junk food, at times, in their life!
don't do them.
Cupcakes/cookies are brought in for birthdays on a regular basis
