Philosophy

The school health program exists because our community cares about thehealth of its children.  The purpose of the school is to educate. Students cannot achieve at their highest potential – sometimes they cannot learn at all – if they have health needs which are not being met.

The primary focus of school nursing is to make sure learning is not hindered by a correctable health problem and to help educate students toward worthwhile decisions affecting present and futurephysical, social and emotional health.

Our goal must be to educate students toward a high level of “wellness”.  Many of our present and future health problems can be prevented through learning the proper care of mind and body.  Our task is to assist  administrators, teachers, and all other support personnel in helping each student achieve his or her optimum potential in a comfortable, caring school climate.
