The
School Nursing Program in the Avon Grove School District
helps to insure the academic success and life-long achievement
of students and staff by promoting optimum student and staff
health, wellness, and safety within their school community,
thus maximizing student learning, performance, and attendance.
This is accomplished by providing daily nursing care that
may include the administering of medication, providing state
mandated health screenings, providing a referral for health
related conditions, promoting a health school environment,
and promotion of healthy habits through health education.
The school nurse also acts as a participant in the development
and evaluation of school policy, and participates as a health
consultant on Individual Educational Plans, 504 Service Agreements,
and Individual Health Care Plans.
