Germs can spread quickly in schools. If your child is sick with a cough, fever, sore throat, vomiting, or diarrhea, they should stay home from school to avoid spreading germs that can make others sick. If your child has symptoms of #COVID19, such as fever, cough, or runny nose, get them tested as soon as you can. Consult their doctor if you have questions. #CDC #PublicHealth #Coronavirus

School nurses make a big difference in student health & academic achievement.

School connectedness reflects students’ belief that peers and adults in their school support, value, and care about their well-being and academic progress. Schools can promote school connectedness by providing more opportunities for students to be physically active during school. Visit the CDC Healthy Schools website for strategies to include more physical activity into the school day. #SchoolConnectedness #MentalHealth #WellBeing #Teachers #SchoolDistricts

Research shows that school connectedness boosts students’ mental health and may have positive, long-lasting effects on their physical health & education. Schools can promote connectedness by incorporating activities like physical education, school meal programs, and health services for chronic health conditions. Schools can use CDC’s Whole School, Whole Community, Whole Child (WSCC) model for policies & practices that will improve school connectedness for better student health and well-being.

Giving students time, attention, and emotional support can improve their engagement and learning in school. To best support student learning, school leaders can create a supportive school environment that promotes connectedness. Visit the CDC Healthy Schools website to learn more. #SchoolConnectedness
