Healthy school environments help students
achieve their full academic potential.
A healthy school environment gives students clear and consistent messages, accurate health information, and ample opportunity to apply it.
The Michigan Department of Community Health in partnership with many other notable organizations offers three websites to help your school assess whether you are doing all you can to make sure your students are fit, healthy and ready to learn.
