A SIMPLE CHECKLIST CAN HELP CHILDREN MAKE THE TRIP TO SCHOOL SAFELY The ride or walk to or from school often is a child's favorite part of the day. But whether your children ride on school buses or walk to school, they face serious safety risks on the way. A child who is a smart pedestrian and bus rider can reduce chances of accidents. According to the National Safety Council, pedestrian injuries are the leading cause of preventable death for children ages 4 to 8 and about 1,300 children under the age of 15 are killed each year. Parents can follow this simple checklist developed by the Safety and Health Council of Greater Omaha to help their children get to school safely: Walk your child under the age of 7 to and from school.

Eyes and Vision Back-To-School Eye Exams Audio File Children should have an eye exam by age 3, followed by an annual eye exam before going back to school through age 18. Vision problems that are not detected and treated may lead to permanent damage not only to eyesight but also to performance in school, desire to learn and self-esteem. A child may have good vision one year and problems the next. As children grow, their eyes change shape and problems may develop. Some indications that your child may have a problem seeing include: Children with vision problems may not complain because they often assume that everyone sees the way they do. A child's first eye exam at 3 years old provides a baseline for comparison to future back-to-school exams. Children do not have to be able to read or even speak well to have a routine eye exam that can reveal problems. The vision screenings done in school check only distance vision. They miss many vision problems and are not a substitute for a complete back-to-school eye exam by an eye-health professional. A complete exam includes tests to determine how clearly the eyes see, how accurately they focus and how well the eye muscles are working. Color perception, depth perception and field of vision are also tested. A professional eye exam is critical for the early detection of eye disease and is mandatory for children with diabetes.

These diseases are uncommon today because of vaccinations. These vaccinations are very safe, with serious reactions occuring very infrequently. The first shots are given soon after birth and are repeated four to five times before children start school since they need several doses to be fully protected. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommend the following schedule for childhood immunizations: Birth to 2 months: Hepatitis B (Hep B)

http://go4green.sask.com/home/family/coach/schTaxi.html

Extractions: Soon kids across Saskatchewan will be settling in regular routines after the lazy days of summer. For many families whose routine includes a twice daily drive to school, that habit may be harming both the health of the children and the environment. Most Canadian children under the age of 11 (82%) live within walking distance of their school. But surprisingly, very few get to school on their own. Kathy Cowan, a Principal in a public school in Toronto, is trying to reduce the health and environmental threats these facts pose. She says, "There's no doubt parents are spending more time chauffeuring their children." However, Cowan quickly adds, "Our school is trying to communicate that there are other ways to be safe, much healthier and environmentally friendly at the same time." Cowan's students learn some basic facts about environmental protection, including: cars are a major source of greenhouse gases short car trips on a cold engine are notorious for causing pollution getting out of the family car and walking or cycling can provide a big boost to fitness, as well as to the environment.

1999.09.21: Children's Health Insurance Program National Back-To-School Kick Off
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Wednesday, Sept. 22, 1999, Contact HCFA Press Office (202)6906145. CHILDREN'S health INSURANCE PROGRAM NATIONAL back-TO-school KICK OFF.
http://www.hhs.gov/news/press/1999pres/990922.html

Extractions: NATIONAL BACK-TO-SCHOOL KICK OFF HHS Secretary Donna E. Shalala, along with Attorney General Janet Reno, Education Secretary Richard Riley, and representatives of several national non-profit organizations, announced a national Back-to-School campaign today to enroll children in free or low-cost health insurance through the Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP). With the support of the U.S. Departments of Health and Human Services, Justice, and Education, and national non-profit organizations including the United Way, today's announcement launched a campaign to raise awareness and enroll children in health insurance through CHIP and Medicaid in local communities this fall. Secretary Shalala also announced a $1 million radio campaign, funded by HHS, to promote these upcoming enrollment activities, scheduled from now until October 2. The Back-to-School campaign will include 45 outreach events in more than 25 local areas in partnership with local United Ways, schools, hospitals, community health centers, community-based organizations, and media outlets. "Access to health insurance is what families need to help ensure that their children grow up healthy and strong," said Secretary Shalala. "This campaign is one way that we are pulling together to help hard-working, low-income parents give their children quality health care through CHIP."

Extractions: Injuries are the leading cause of death and disability for people aged 1 to 44 years in the United States. Moreover, between 10% and 25% of child and adolescent injuries occur on school premises. Because injuries take such a toll on the health and well-being of young people, the Year 2010 National Health Objectives encourage schools to provide comprehensive health education to prevent unintentional injuries, violence, and suicide. More than 53 million young people attend over 114,000 schools every day. Including students and adults, a fifth of the United States population can be found in schools. Therefore, school-based programs can efficiently reach most of the nations children and adolescents, as well as many adults. Benefits of Preventing Unintentional Injuries and Violence in Schools All students have the right to learn in a safe and protective school environment. Preventing unintentional injuries, violence, and suicide in schools would help improve the learning environment.

Extractions: "To make sure your children don't miss one day of school, you must be sure immunization records are up to date," said Dr. Alonzo Plough, Director of Public Health - Seattle & King County. "Best of all, immunizations are one of the safest and most effective ways to keep your child healthy." Students entering kindergarten and 1st grade will be required to show proof of having received two doses of measles-containing vaccine, one dose of mumps-containing vaccine, and one dose of rubella-containing vaccine. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommend that these doses be given as measles/mumps/rubella (MMR), but students can be considered fully immunized with one MMR and one dose of a measles-containing vaccine, if both are given after the first birthday and at least 28 days apart.

Beginning Another Year In College Health: My Back To School List Of Reminders
Here's my back to school list of reminders Wear a Smile A sincere smile and Conveyingan approachable, caring image for the health service is important.
http://www.pitt.edu/~cjm6/f96basics.html

Extractions: By Carol J. Mulvihill, RN-C, Editor of CQ, and Director of Health Services, University of Pittsburgh at Bradford, cjm6+@pitt.edu As I begin my 23rd year in college health at the University of Pittsburgh at Bradford, I reflect on the things that are so important in this business of caring for students. Whether students are new or returning, young or old, nice or not so nice, I remind myself that they are the reason I am here. Here's my "back to school" list of reminders: Wear a Smile A sincere smile and a welcoming attitude work wonders in meeting and greeting new freshmen and upper class students as well. Conveying an approachable, caring image for the health service is important. Although this is an ongoing process, I make a special effort at the beginning of each year to establish credibility with the new students. My mother told me that you only get one chance to make a good first impression. Keep the Antennae Up Particularly at the beginning of a new school year, I try to "keep my antennae up," to be sensitive particularly to the needs of new students. Attention to non-verbals... the student's facial expression and body language... may be more revealing than the verbalized reason for the visit. Both are noteworthy. I remind myself to be sensitive and to listen to the whole person, not just to their words.

http://www.infinite-health.com/chiro/backto.htm

Extractions: According to the Ontario Chiropractic Association (OCA), a recent study among 1,178 school children in France showed that both volleyball and inactivity in front of the TV can result in back pain among children, aged six to 20 years. Carrying a book bag by hand or over one shoulder, playing volleyball, and spending more than an hour a day in front of the tube all were found to increase the likelihood that the children would report significant back pain. Before school starts this fall, the OCA urges parents to get a complete physical for their children, including a spinal health exam. Ontario's Doctors of Chiropractic are authorized to diagnose and treat conditions concerning the spine, muscle and nervous systems. Chiropractors work to promote optimal health and wellness through positive lifestyles changes. The OCA is a voluntary membership organization representing more than 1,800 Ontario chiropractors. The objectives of the Association include public education and research devoted to improving the quality of health care for the citizens of Ontario. In 1995, the chiropractic profession marks the centenary of its founding, by a Canadian, Dr. David Daniel Palmer, from the Ontario town of Port Perry.
