It is just as important as ever these days for parents to be involved in their child's school.  One of the most helpful things parents can do is donate their time in areas where they see an extra need.  If you are thinking of raising an issue, it is important to remember that the school system has your child's best interest in mind just like you do.  Check out this webinar to get some ideas on how you can help your child's school have a healthy environment.

 

"Healthy school environments play an important role in the health and academic success of children. Children spend 90 percent of their time indoors, and much of that time is spent in school. Unhealthy school environments can affect attendance, concentration, and performance, as well as lead to expensive, time-consuming cleanup and remediation activities. Join our webinar to learn more about what schools can do to better address environmental health in schools. We will also introduce EPA’s new voluntary School Environmental Health: Development and Implementation Guidelines for States."
