A successful school year is about more than academics. When students have access to basic wellness essentials and feel supported, they can focus more on learning, participating, and making the most of their school day.
Here are 5 simple ways schools can support student wellness this year:
1. Make Hygiene Essentials Easy to Access
Keep period products, personal hygiene supplies, and other everyday essentials available through school nurses, counseling offices, restrooms, or student support programs. Easy access can help students handle unexpected situations discreetly.
2. Keep First Aid Supplies Ready
Minor cuts, scrapes, and everyday mishaps happen. Having conveniently packed first aid supplies available throughout the school helps staff and students stay prepared.
3. Prepare for the Unexpected
Student wellness also means being ready for emergencies. Schools can include hygiene, first aid, PPE, and personal care supplies in emergency preparedness plans, classrooms, evacuation supplies, and designated response areas.
4. Support Students Without Creating Stigma
Students shouldn't have to feel embarrassed about asking for basic necessities. Providing discreet, individually packaged supplies can make it easier for students to get what they need while maintaining privacy and dignity.
5. Build a School-Wide Culture of Preparedness
Wellness works best when it's part of the school's overall plan. Nurses, counselors, administrators, teachers, and student support teams can work together to identify what students may need throughout the year.
