Health and Wellness
Foxborough Regional Charter School Health and Wellness Advisory Committee
Each school district in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts is required to have a wellness policy in place and implement procedures that support the well-being of all children. Foxborough Regional Charter School was one of the leaders in the state to be in compliance with this mandate. The school was awarded a Gold Level Coordinated School Health Award in 2011, recognizing the innovative approaches to ongoing needs of students.
In order to continuously review policies and procedures and to ensure that they are relevant and purposeful, the school has a committee that meets four times per year to review and assess all wellness details
The focus of this committee is a school-wide coordinated approach to support healthy food choices, physical activity and health education. This approach will enhance student, staff, and community awareness in making healthy lifestyle decisions.
We encourage staff, parents, students and other community members to become involved!

Information to Share with Families about the Formula Shortage:
The pandemic and other factors are continuing to impact the availability of supplies, including infant formula. The Department of Public Health’s Woman, Infant and Children (WIC) Program has updated their website with important information to help WIC participants obtain formula for their children. Additionally, the American Academy of Pediatrics offers tips for families and caregivers who are struggling to find baby formula during the shortage. Families should talk with their pediatrician about safe and appropriate feeding alternatives for their children. Schools and districts are asked to please share this information with their families.
