- Immunizations. Many schools require that your child have a physical and be immunized before beginning the new school year. Be sure that you know your school’s requirements and have get your child the appropriate vaccinations.
- Sanitize. Stress to your kids NOT to put their hands in their eyes or mouths. Encourage your kids to wash their hands before meals and after they visit the bathroom and use hand sanitizer when needed.
