School Health

VISION

All students are health, safe and ready to learn.

MISSION

Sullivan County Department of Education School Nurses' mission is to optimize student health and learning. Our nurses are equipped with evidence-based resources and serve as leaders in school health on each campus. School Nurses promote student health, safety, and academic achievement through advocacy, health education, and community connections. We advocate for all students to have access to a school nurse by developing and implementing safe, effective school health practices. When our students stay healthy and in a classroom, they benefit from the high-quality instruction delivered by our Sullivan County faculty.

Sullivan County School Nurses are licensed registered nurses who work in our schools to promote individual and population-based student health, coordinate care, advocate for quality, student-centered care, and advance academic success. School Nurses are health service leaders who bridge health care and education, collaborating with partners across health and education to create healthy communities. Our practice is based on the National Association of School Nurses' (NASN) School Nursing Practice Framework™ (Framework), which creates an overarching structure that includes concepts integral to the complex clinical specialty practice of school nursing.
