Goals of the School Health Services Program
“School Nursing is a specialized practice of professional nursing that advances the well being, academic success, and life-long achievement of students. To that end, school nurses facilitate positive student responses to normal development; promote health and safety; intervene with actual and potential health problems; provide case management services; and actively collaborate with others to build student and family capacity for adaptation, self-management, self-advocacy, and learning.” National Association of School Nurses, 1999

“You cannot educate an unhealthy child and you cannot keep an uneducated child healthy.”
- Dr. Jocelyn Elders, Former Secretary of Health
