School Days, School Daze
September 1st, 2008 
- Make sure you enroll your child in some type of sport or activity for the upcoming year. This will keep them active and healthy while also providing a good way to make new friends.
- If within reasonable distance, walk or ride bikes to activities instead of driving. Get the whole family involved.
- When packing lunches, make sure your child has plenty of healthy snacks he or she can enjoy.
- Discuss with your child after school plans or what to do in an emergency if you are not home when they arrive.
- Make sure the entire family’s immunization shots are up-to-date: If not, make arrangements to visit your family physician. If you child has to take medications during school hours, make arrangements before school starts.
