1 Champion a healthier learning environment GOJO Hand Hygiene Program for Schools

2 Hand hygiene is essential to a healthy learning environment But how do you fit this critical program into a busy school day? Absenteeism robs students of learning time. One of the challenges you face in helping kids achieve their fullest potential is keeping students ready and able to learn; and staying off the absentee list. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, hand hygiene is one of the most important steps in preventing illness and stopping the spread of germs to others. Illness is responsible for more than 144 million lost school days per year 1. Absenteeism can cause lost learning opportunities that impact student achievement. Hand Hygiene Vital to success but difficult to achieve With all the demands of a busy school day, proper hand hygiene isn t easy. Soap and water may not be available in the classroom, and restroom visits after each cough or sneeze aren t practical. Studies show only 53% of students wash their hands after bathroom use and only 18% use soap 2.
