A healthy school year starts before the first bell rings ✅
Add these health checks to your back-to-school list:
• Eye exam – Book your child’s eye exam before kindergarten.
• Dental checkup – Help prevent cavities with regular visits.
• Routine vaccines – Keep vaccines up to date before school and in Grades 6 and 9.
• Flu shot – Everyone 6 months and older should get one every fall.
