Health Services & Academic Success

Health and well-being is fundamental for academic success. Health Services staff are an active partner with families, school staff and students to ensure that children come to school healthy and ready to learn:

• Decreasing absenteeism, drop-out rates, and
• Increasing the potential for academic success.

School Health Services also provides training and planning with staff to prepare school personnel to establish a safety net for students with chronic illness and special health care needs. The goal of health services is to promote positive choices, independence and self management of health issues for the optimal well being and academic success of all students.
