Healthy CPS for Parents and Caregivers
Healthy students are better learners. Healthy CPS provides schools with guidance and resources to support the health and wellbeing of all students and to create a sustainable culture of health and wellness.
Healthy students build stronger communities. Healthy CPS requires the input and participation of parents and caregivers, students, educators, school administration, and community members to build a solid foundation of health and wellness in the school and in the community.
