Welcome to Student Health Services
Barbara Stoks, Director
The Student Health Services Department seeks to support the mission of the District, to graduate all students, by implementing programs and providing services designed to reduce health related barriers to learning, promote each student’s optimal level of wellness and empower students and their families with the knowledge and skills needed to achieve life-long health and wellness. Programs focus on prevention, early identification, referral and case management of health issues having the potential to negatively impact school attendance and academic success.
Health services provided include maintenance of student immunization compliance, health screenings such as growth, vision and hearing, administration of medication and special procedures, management of acute and chronic illnesses, and health education focusing on the prevention and control of infectious disease and the promotion of healthy lifestyle choices. Student Health Services staff collaborates with students, family members, teachers and other school and community professionals to facilitate positive health outcomes for students.
