Ways to Engage in Your Child’s School to Support Student Health and Learning [downloadable]

As a parent, you want your child to do well in school. You also want your child to be healthy and avoid behaviors that are risky or harmful. Through your guidance and support, you can have great influence on your child’s health and learning.

One way you can show your support is by being involved in your child’s school. When parents are engaged in their children’s school activities, their children get better grades, choose healthier behaviors, and have better social skills.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has developed a brochure on the ways in which parents, caregivers and families can support student health and learning. Download the brochure Ways to Engage in Your Child’s School to Support Student Health and Learning.
