Healthy Students Are Ready to Learn
Dear Parents,
The holidays are a busy time, but maintaining healthy habits helps teens stay focused and feel their best.
Encourage your student to build these five habits this season:
1. Get enough sleep. Teens need about 8 to 10 hours of sleep a night to stay alert and healthy.
2. Practice good hygiene. Regular handwashing and covering coughs prevent the spread of illness.
3. Stay active. Even short walks or sports with friends can boost energy and mood.
4. Make wise food choices. Balance holiday treats with fruits, vegetables, and water.
5. Manage stress. Support your teen in setting limits and taking breaks from screens and social media.
Our Choptank Health providers play a crucial role in preparing our students for learning by offering medical, dental, nutrition, and behavioral health services, all on a schedule that also benefits our parents. They work with your primary health care provider to keep your students as healthy as they can be. You can enroll your child in School-Based Health at any time throughout the year. For more information, including enrollment forms, locations, and contact details, visit www.choptankhealth.org/schoolbased.
