Healthy children are successful learners. School nurses have a multifaceted role within the school setting, supporting students' physical, mental, emotional, and social health and their learning success.

The School Nurses: 

• provide direct health care for students and staff,

• provide leadership for the provision of health services,

• provide screening and referral for health conditions,

• promote a healthy school environment,

• promote health,

• serve in a leadership role for health policies and programs, and

• serve as a liaison between school personnel, family, community, and health care providers.

The School Nurse and the Health Services program for Dawson County Schools advance students' well-being, academic success, and lifelong achievement. To that end, school nurses facilitate positive student responses to normal development; promote health and safety; intervene with actual and potential health problems; provide case management services; and actively collaborate with others to build student and family capacity for adaptation, self-management, self-advocacy, and learning.
