Parents
Provide parents with background information that outlines why sun safety is so important in the fight against skin cancer. Explain the details of the school’s policy and urge parents to partner with the school to encourage student sun-safe behavior both at school and at home. Remind parents to “walk the walk” themselves. Convey messages in multiple media, such as letters, E-mail, the school website, and parent-teacher meetings. Ensure that when parents search for details pertaining to the school’s sun safety policy, such as what type of hat is allowed, it will be relatively easy to find.
