Student Wellness

The District recognizes that good health is a prerequisite to optimal learning and that schools can help students achieve academic success by participating in efforts that promote good health. The District defines health in a broad sense as a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity. Health services is one of the important elements of a comprehensive approach to promoting health and preventing disease and disability in children and youth and maintaining attendance, which is associated with success in school.

The District will continue its commitment to students’ health in an equitable manner through the institution of such programs as Healthy Start and after-school programs, early care and education programs, school-based/school-linked health services, child nutrition services, counseling services, dental services, vision and hearing services, and immunization programs.

The District acknowledges that while our schools play a critical role in helping children access health care services, it is essential to achieve this in collaboration with local agencies and community-based organizations. It is only through the shared responsibility and collective action of schools, local agencies and/or community-based organizations that we can ensure positive outcomes for our children and youth.

Because good physical and mental health are critical to a student’s ability to learn, the District believes that all students should have access to comprehensive health and social services. The District desires to collaborate with local and state health, mental health and social service providers in order to offer integrated services in or near district schools; and to provide necessary nursing and other health care services in an equitable manner to all students with needs for such services.

In the context of the Coordinated School Health Model, the District insures this access by: providing mandated health services directly to students; making available physical space where cooperating organizations such as school-based health centers and public health departments can provide easily accessible health care services to students; and working with other organizations and parents/guardians to insure student and staff access to health care services both on and off-site.
