Because children and adolescents spend a significant portion of their time in school, schools are responsible for establishing an environment that addresses physical, emotional, social, and environmental factors related to health and well-being that affect learning. Adopting a coordinated approach to meet students’ needs in a holistic way will position students for lifetime health and academic success.
