School connectedness reflects students’ belief that peers and adults in their school support, value, and care about their well-being and academic progress. Schools can promote school connectedness by providing more opportunities for students to be physically active during school. Visit the CDC Healthy Schools website for strategies to include more physical activity into the school day. #SchoolConnectedness #MentalHealth #WellBeing #Teachers #SchoolDistricts
