Your Back-to-School Checklist for a Healthier Year

Starting the school year with a plan is one of the best ways to reduce stress and set up your students for success. Whether you’re a teacher setting up your classroom or a parent preparing a child for a new grade, this checklist will help create an active, positive environment from Day 1. 





The first few weeks of school set the tone for the entire year. Here’s your classroom (or home) checklist to promote student success through movement.


Back-to-School Fitness Checklist:

  1. Create a classroom or home fitness goal. (e.g: Set a daily movement goal)

  2. Choose a reward system (e.g. Toe Tokens)

  3. Plan 2-3 brain break activities per day

  4. Display a visible tracker or progress board

  5. Schedule time each day for movement

  6. Celebrate milestones and consistency together with tokens or prizes, not just completion
