What can I do to help my student stay well and prevent the spread of illness?

Teach and remind students to wash hands often with soap and water, or use hand sanitizer when soap and water are not available. 

Remind students to throw away used tissues, cover their mouths when they cough or sneeze, and keep their hands away from their face.

Make sure students eat regular healthy meals, drink water throughout the day, and get plenty of sleep.

Schedule your student's yearly well-child check each school year to keep on top of any non-urgent medical issues, monitor treatment of chronic conditions, and discuss your student's development with his or her medical provider.
