Back to School Preparation 

While it may not feel like it, the 2024/2025 school year is fast approaching, and parents are encouraged to start getting their children ready for the year. Kelsey Merkens of Norman Mahnomen Public Health says one thing parents should start doing soon is getting their kids back on a healthy bedtime routine. 

Merkens says scheduling a well child exam is also something that Norman Mahnomen Public Health is encouraging parents to do. 

Once the school year gets closer parents and school staff alike get busy, and that’s why Merkens also suggests that parents get all necessary school paperwork done and turned in as soon as possible.
