For students, the start of a new school year can be an emotional and behavioral roller-coaster. There are new stresses, like transitioning into a new school, developing new friendships, navigating challenging situations with peers, coordinating health needs, and handling academics. Visit NASN's website for links to numerous mental health resources and related continuing education opportunities including Mental Health Training Intervention for Health Providers in Schools. School nurses can help reduce student anxiety to ensure their students remain mentally healthy, safe, and ready to learn! Thank you for supporting your students!

Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA) and School Improvement Plans (SIPs) - Get Involved
SIPs are likely to change under the new state-designed accountability systems for ESSA. SIPs provide a systematic opportunity to address the needs of the whole child, including health and wellness needs. The National Association of Chronic Disease Directors has developed a guide that outlines opportunities to incorporate health and wellness-related goals at the state, district, and local levels and highlights school nurses as members of the SIP team. Get involved, and use this tool. |

"Look-alike" Smart Snacks in Schools
A UConn Rudd Center study, in the Journal Childhood Obesity, is the first to examine how selling "look-alike" Smart Snacks in schools affects parents' and students' attitudes about the brand and perceptions of schools selling these products. In 2013, the United States Department of Agriculture established Smart Snacks nutrition standards for snack foods sold in schools to encourage the sale of healthy snacks. While many of the reformulated products are only sold in schools, they are often packaged to look similar to the widely available less-nutritious versions. Access the "Look-alike" Smart Snacks in Schools Fact Sheet. |
