Policy on Health Services

The Policy on Health Services outlines the school’s approach to providing preventive, acute, and chronic health care services to students, as well as the roles and responsibilities of school health personnel, such as nurses, physicians, and other medical staff. The policy may cover topics such as the types of health services available, such as immunizations, screenings, first aid, and medication administration, and the process for accessing and utilizing these services. It may also address issues related to confidentiality, parental consent, and coordination with community health providers. The policy may include information about the school’s efforts to promote student health and wellness through education, prevention, and early intervention, and to ensure that all students have access to appropriate and high-quality health care. The purpose of the Policy on Health Services is to support the physical, mental, and emotional well-being of students and to create a healthy and safe school environment that is conducive to learning and growth.
