A Coordinated School Health Program (CSHP) includes these eight key components. It is designed to help young people grow into healthy and productive adults by focusing on their physical, emotional, social, and educational development, kindergarten through twelfth grade. An effective school health program is a working partnership between the schools and the community which includes the parents and families. Primarily, it recognizes that health and academic success go hand in hand.
School Nursing services include: Preventive services, education, emergency care, referrals, and management of acute and chronic health problems. School nurses work diligently to prevent health problems and injuries as they ensure care for students. They work to:
- Minimize or eliminate health problems that impede learning.
- Reduce the incidence of health related problems in order to maximize the quantity and quality of class time.
- Support school staff in safe administration of medications in school.
- Ensure compliance with state mandates for immunizations and physical exams required for school entry and attendance.
- Increase the school community’s knowledge and behaviors in positive health, mental health, physical activity, and safety and nutrition practices.
