Parents

Healthy school settings enhance the learning environments for students. Parents can help their school create a healthy learning environment by:

Learning about Healthy School Environments;
Working as part of a team with school administrators, teachers, and others to identify priority issues and address environmental health issues;
Identifying and recommending community partners who may be able to lend expertise to address the issue of chemicals in schools; and
Evaluating the chemicals (i.e., art supplies, cleaners, etc.) you contribute to the school environment for risk and necessity.
