The program has received both state
and national recognition as a best practice standard as it contributes to the
academic success and advancement of the well being and the lifelong achievement
of the school-aged child. Although minor and chronic health issues may be
managed in the classroom, there is a nurse assigned to collaborate on
preventative and emergent health measures in each school.
To this end, the School Nurse Program
facilitates positive student response to normal development, promotes health
and safety, intervenes with actual and potential health problems, provides case
management services and actively collaborates with community partners to build
student and family capacity for adaptation, self-management, self-advocacy and
learning.
Remember: Healthy Children Learn
Better!
