September brings crisper weather and new routines. As you settle into the 2022-2023 school year, we want you to know that Let’s Go! is here to support you in building healthy habits.

We are excited to share our Let’s Go! Learning Online Platform, which will provide you access to the NEW Let’s Go! Self-Assessment and on-demand trainings.

The Let’s Go! Self-Assessment will allow you to:

• Determine your school's strengths and opportunities for growth
• Develop your goal(s) for the Let's Go! program year
• Identify resources and community partners needed to achieve your goal(s)

With this change, Let’s Go! will no longer survey you each spring to measure strategy implementation and determine recognition. So much of your great work wasn’t captured in the annual survey. Moving forward, we will celebrate all sites dedicated to creating and maintaining healthy environments using the Let’s Go! Self-Assessment.

Let's Go! Learning- New Online Learning Website

We are also excited to share Let’s Go! Learning with you. This is a new online training platform, where staff can access free trainings with contact hours and resources. Explore free on-demand courses with contact hours.

It’s free, fun, and easy to navigate. Simply select your setting and enroll in a course.

Share LetsGoLearning.Thinkific.com with everyone at your school. There is no limit to the number of staff who can access the training content. New courses will be added throughout the program year and highlighted in these monthly newsletters.
