    Heath School Health Clinic Mission: 

    The Heath School Health Clinic is located within the main office on the first floor. The mission of our School Health Program is to foster the growth, development and educational achievement of all students by promoting health and wellness in the following ways:
    • Providing first aid, emergency treatment, intervention, and referral for physical, psychological, social-emotional and behavioral issues
    • Administering direct care for special medical needs
    • Monitoring health status and management of screening programs to identify health concerns
      • Vision screening in grades K-6 
      • Hearing in grades K-3, 6, 9
      • Height and Weight and BMI measurement in grades 1,4,7
      • Scoliosis screening in grades 5-8
    • Building partnerships to ensure referral to quality services that are effective, culturally appropriate and responsive to the diverse and changing needs of our students and their families.
    Please contact me if your child has any new health concerns (such as allergies, asthma, seizures, diabetes), any emotional issues (such as recent loss or hospitalization), special needs, required procedures or a history of a recent illness or injury. This will inform me of any restrictions or accommodations that your child may require. All information will be kept confidential and shared with individual staff members on a need to know basis only.
    PARENTS OF CHILDREN WHO RECEIVE DAILY OR EMERGENCY MEDICATION IN SCHOOL MUST MEET WITH ME TO INITIATE OR RENEW THE APPROPRIATE DOCUMENTATION FOR THE ADMINISTRATION OF MEDICATION AT SCHOOL. New medication orders are required every academic year. Medications should be brought directly to me by the parent, guardian or adult caregiver.
