School Health

Mental health is a critical part of a child’s overall development and academic success. Review valuable resources, facts, and tools to help educators address mental health challenges. We also provide guidance on suicide prevention and fostering a safe, inclusive environment.

Learn the signs so that you're able to act early. This development screening checklist identifies a child's progress through foundational early childhood developmental milestones. There are resources available to help reach success.

Ensuring students are up to date on immunizations is key to keeping our school community healthy. The SDDOH provides reliable resources, including vaccination schedules, important health facts, and answers to common questions.

Oral health is an important aspect of overall wellbeing. Instilling that importance in kids and teaching them how to take care of their gums and teeth allows them to be happy and healthy. Educate oral care, how to find a dentist, and even fun tooth brushing songs!
