As a parent or guardian, there is nothing more important than the safety and wellbeing of your child. No matter their age, the physical and mental health of students is the top concern of both parents and schools.

This webpage serves as a source of information, resources, and support for Benton City students and families regarding students' health.

Healthy kids are more likely to become healthy adults. Be a role model and help your kids make safe and healthy choices every day.

• Buckle up every age, every seat, every trip.
• Put on a helmet during outdoor activities, including riding bikes and skating.
• Put on sunscreen and avoid indoor tanning.
• Brush and floss teeth with fluoride to help prevent tooth decay.
• Wash hands with clear running water and apply soap. Rub hands for at least 20 seconds, then rinse.
• Get a flu vaccine. Everyone needs a flu vaccine – every flu season.
• Be active with your kids. Children and adolescents need a total of 60 minutes of physical activity every day.
• Be smoke-free, and protect your children from second hand smoke.
• Be a healthy role model. Show your child what it means to be healthy.
