Nursing

Nurses are on staff and available in all Waynesville school buildings to assess, plan, and implement coordinated school health services.  Our district has worked toward integrating health education and health-related services into the everyday school experience. 

Children need to be healthy to learn, and we want to educate students to be healthy.  Our program is designed to promote the health of students, identify and prevent health problems and injuries, and ensure care for students.

School Health Services:

• Assess the health and developmental status of all students.
• Identify students with special health concerns and develop health care plans with students and families.
• Establish and maintain comprehensive school health records.
• Establish and maintain immunization records that comply with state laws, rules and regulations regarding immunization requirements.
• Conduct annual screening programs tailored to each age level, make referrals, and provide follow-up as needed.
• Monitor communicable disease prevention and control programs.

Our nursing staff and the district work together to meet the health and educational needs of our students.
