Back to school

The answer is D: all of the above!

A new school year is a fresh start for students, families, and educators across Connecticut. As children head back to the classroom, it’s a good time to build healthy routines, support mental well-being, and make sure students have the tools they need to learn, grow, and thrive. From getting enough sleep and supporting children through big feelings to making sure they are up to date on recommended vaccinations, small steps can make a big difference.

The Protect Who Matters Most campaign offers resources to help Connecticut families prepare for the school year, including information about recommended vaccinations and ways to help protect children and the people around them. Explore back-to-school health resources from the Connecticut Department of Public Health and start the school year healthy, safe, and ready to learn.
