Back to School Toolkit

Empower your child’s future with info every parent needs before school starts.

Why This Matters

Today’s school environments pose increasing risks to children’s health, from questionable vaccination practices and unhealthy food options to excessive tech exposure and concerning school-based medical protocols.

Schools should be safe.

But more and more, they are places where children’s rights and health are at risk.

That’s why we created this Back to School Toolkit—to give parents resources, tools and clear, actionable information to help protect their kids and spark meaningful conversations with school administrators, teachers, and pediatricians.

What’s Inside the Toolkit

Each of these focus areas includes a downloadable guide with 5 critical questions to ask your school or pediatrician.

Informed Consent & Vaccines

Vaccination is a personal medical decision, whether for yourself as an adult or for your family. You have a right to know the risks, benefits, and alternatives before deciding if vaccinations are right for your family. Requirements and exemptions differ by state, and school staff aren't always equipped to walk you through them. This questionnaire gives you the tools to advocate for informed consent and your family’s personal medical freedom.
