As the weather gets cooler and we head into fall, staying healthy becomes an important part of helping students attend school regularly and be ready to learn.

When students are feeling their best, they are better able to focus, participate, learn, and make the most of their school day. A few simple healthy habits can help keep students in school and feeling their best!

Help your student stay healthy by:

• Getting enough sleep — A consistent bedtime helps the body and brain recharge.
• Eating nutritious meals and snacks — Healthy foods provide the energy students need to learn and stay focused.
• Drinking plenty of water — Staying hydrated helps students feel and function at their best throughout the day.
• Moving every day — Physical activity supports both physical and mental well-being.
• Washing hands regularly — Good hand hygiene can help prevent the spread of germs.

Healthy habits can make a big difference! When students take care of their bodies and minds, they are more prepared to show up, participate, and learn.

Families can also help by talking with students about how they are feeling and encouraging healthy choices that support their well-being throughout the school year.
