Local school districts are emphasizing various health and wellness initiatives, ranging from seasonal flu prevention in Utah County to the availability of mental health resources for students at Dixie High School.
The Utah County Health Department previously issued a reminder to families that receiving an annual flu shot is one of the most effective ways to protect children and reduce the spread of illness in classrooms, according to Sego Lily Elementary.
At Dixie High School in Saint George, the school counseling department provides students with access to various mental health resources and a dedicated Instagram page for counseling updates.
The Dixie High School counseling office remains open Monday through Friday from 7:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. for students seeking assistance with scheduling or mental health support.
