Virtual House Call for Parents and Families: Return to School Safely During COVID-19


Q&A Session for Families with Medical Experts

Families, do you have questions about returning to school safely this fall? Join pediatricians, school medical experts, and other healthcare providers to get answers to your questions about health assessments (physicals), immunizations, medication administration, mask wearing, hand washing, social distancing, face touching, and any other concerns. Back-to-school will feel different this year.

The State Department of Education, together with health care providers, is hosting a virtual meeting to answer your questions about what to expect and how to prepare for a safe return to school.
