The goal of our Health Services department is to create and sustain a school environment that promotes and supports student achievement, health and well-being. Research shows that healthy students are better learners.
To accomplish this, Health Services staff, as part of the school team:
• Promotes student wellness.
• Monitors immunization status of students.
• Manages health plans for students with health conditions.
• Provides first aid and emergency care.
• Administers medication as ordered by a physician.
• Maintains health service records.
• Implements screening programs.
• Encourages healthy behaviors.
• Encourages self-care.
• Surveillance of communicable diseases.
The model of Health Services in ISD 728 uses a combination of Licensed School Nurses and Health Services Secretaries.
