School Health Services

School health services allow children with special health needs to attend school, and also protects the health of the school community as a whole through attention to infectious disease control and implementation of immunization laws. School health services are implemented by school nurses, secretaries, administrators, teachers, and instructional assistants and include screening, tracking, identification and assessment of health related needs, health education programs, administration of medication and, implementation of health plans and risk management. All health services are provided under specific procedures that are followed district wide.

Each of our schools is served part-time by a registered nurse who coordinates those services at the school. The nurse reviews student information, works with school staff members, community health professionals, and families to meet students' needs. Parents and guardians are encouraged to contact the school principal or nurse if their student has a health condition that requires services at school. This includes the use of ANY medication at school.
