Swine Flu
The following may be a helpful link to a CDC webpage on the Swine Flu and what steps each of us can take to protect ourselves. The same information has been given to all staff at HASD. Please let me know if you have any questions/concerns that I can assist with.
Hortonville Area Schools has been a Gold Award winner the past two years of the Governor’s School Health Award.
Healthy Child=Healthy Learner=Academic Achievement
“Schools have a wealth of potential for ensuring the future well-being of young people. You can’t educate a child who isn’t healthy and you can’t keep a child healthy who isn’t educated.”
When children do not feel well or are suffering from poor health, their schoolwork suffers. This can impact their success as adults.
Wisconsin children are facing overwhelming risks; obesity, asthma, alcohol and drug abuse, poverty, diabetes, mental illness and more.
Children’s poor health costs society billions of dollars, and costs families in dollars, stress, and lost work days.
Schools-through school health services-provide an excellent way to address health risks and grow healthy children.
What YOU can do to help improve student health:
- Discuss your support of school health services with school board members and school administrators.
- Propose local policies that will improve school health services in our district.
- Meet your school health service staff and ask how you can be supportive.
