Sun Safe Strategies
Sun safe lifestyle habits come in many forms. Keep these points in mind as you explore this section of the site and learn about actions your school can take to encourage sun safe behaviors by students, parents, and staff:
- Don’t be afraid to start with shade. Enhancing the shade on your school’s grounds is easier than you think.
- Simple modifications to existing clothing and dress codes can make a big difference in how well students are covered up.
- Communication is all you may need, to help sunscreen succeed.
- Scheduling outdoor activities for the right time and place can help keep everyone healthy and happy.
- Teach your students to protect themselves from the sun at school and everywhere else.
- You don’t have to tackle this alone. Ask parents and the community to support your efforts.
