Nurses also will complete Health Assessments on each child. Health Assessments are provided as needed for illness or injuries. Our nurses actively participate in Health education by teaching health units throughout the year. These lessons include, but are not limited to, hand washing, germs, tooth brushing and safety.
Nurses also maintain health records.
A complete health record is maintained on each student. Confidentiality is maintained also. Nurses also provide staff inservice training and community training as well as collaborate with community agencies such as Children's Services Board, Daycare, Head Start Collaborative, Health Clinics, etc. Screening and assessments are completed based on the child's needs. The basis of therapy focuses on the functional and educational needs of the child.
