Review Habits That Help Kids Stay Well

Every family wants to make sure that students stay well. Student health and safety are a top priority for schools, also.

Families and schools rely on each other to do everything possible to keep kids healthy and learning.

The most important thing you can do is not to send a sick child to school. Of course, good nutrition and adequate rest are also important for preventing illness. So are regular medical check-ups.

One of the simplest ways to help keep your child from getting sick is to teach effective hygiene. Many illnesses can be spread when children come in contact with one another.

Make sure your elementary schooler knows:

To wash hands frequently with soap, or to use hand sanitizer if soap is not available.
The importance of following school health rules.
Not to share food.
Not to share drinks.
Not to share hats, clothing or any other property.
To throw away used tissues in an appropriate receptacle.
