Recent ActivityHEALTHY STUDENTS=SUCCESSFUL STUDENTS
Nursing services support students by managing health related barriers to learning. District nurses coordinate the services through training, delegation and supervision of staff, and act as laisons between school, home, health care providers and/or community resources.
School nursing is a specialized practice of professional nursing that facilitates positive student responses to normal development, promotes health and safety, intervenes with actual and potential health problems, provides case management services and actively collaborates with others to build student and family capacity for adaptation, self management, self advocacy and learning.
Direct care of a MINOR illness or injury to a student while at school is provided by a health room aide or other staff member who is trained to handle these situations. In cases of SERIOUS illness or injury, district staff will provide basic care and use emergency medical services by calling 9-1-1 and parent(s)/guardian(s).
