PHS students, teachers introduce web‑based wellness tracker in Spotlight on Learning
Summary
Pewaukee High School staff demonstrated a web-based wellness tracker used in PE and health classes; teachers said students log daily 'wellness sliders' (mindset, nutrition, sleep, movement), set monthly goals and reflect on trends. Student athletes described quick daily use and practical benefits for training and academics.
Pewaukee High School teachers and students demonstrated a new web‑based wellness tracker during the board’s Spotlight on Learning segment.
Adam Eberly, a PE teacher at the high school, told the board the district is “introducing our new wellness tracker, that we're using here at the high school in health classes and in PE classes,” and said the tool lets students track fitness and wellness data over time, set specific goals and review monthly progress. He said the district is focusing on the 'care' component of its graduate profile — supporting students’ physical and emotional well‑being as part of academic success.
Students who piloted the system described how it works in daily class. “I've been using rep performance last 3 months, and I've had nothing but good things to say about it,” one student said, noting the slider interface lets users record a quick daily snapshot and review a monthly graph to identify trends in nutrition, sleep and mindset.
Eberly explained that students move 'wellness sliders' for mindset, nutrition, sleep and movement during class; entries take about 30 seconds and reset at midnight, producing a monthly graph that students use to set a targeted wellness action plan. Staff said the teacher‑led implementation in PE and health classes helps ensure regular data points and creates opportunities for brief check‑ins with students who show persistent low scores.
Board members asked whether students without a PE class that semester would still participate; staff said the tracker is currently incorporated in PE and health but students retain access to their accounts and teachers hope students continue using the tool independently. The district has not yet extended funded access beyond high school, staff said.
The demonstration also included student athletes who said the tracker helped them link nutrition and sleep to performance in practices and meets. Teachers said the district will monitor uptake and may consider expanding access if the pilot shows continued value.
The Spotlight demonstration concluded with the board thanking the presenting students and staff for the overview and the practical examples of how the tracker is used in class.
