School Health

Your child spends more time at school than anywhere else except home. Schools can have a major effect on children's health. Schools can teach children about health, and promote healthy behaviors. Physical education classes give children a chance to get exercise.

Schools work to:

Prevent risky behaviors such as alcohol and tobacco use or bullying and cyberbullying
Encourage healthy habits like exercise and healthy eating
Deal with specific health problems in students, such as asthma, obesity and infectious diseases

The school building and environment should be a safe and healthy place for your child.
