As the school population becomes increasingly diverse, student health needs become more complex. Dramatic societal changes, especially those involving family structure, have impinged on school health services.
The district has the opportunity and responsibility to promote optimal levels of wellness in the school population. Recognizing the interrelationship between levels of wellness and learning, the Livingston School District Health Services Program is designed to enable the individual to function to the best of his/her capabilities physically, Intellectually, emotionally, and socially.
The Livingston School District Health Services Program is a comprehensive program and provides pupil health appraisal and assessment, health teaching and counseling, pupil and school personnel health supervision, as well as supervision of the environment.
Essential to the effectiveness of this program is open communication with parents,Teacher, community members, and agencies.
Recognizing that all members of the school staff, other professionals, parents, and community members’ assist in all health areas, the major responsibility for school-based health services lies with the school nurse and school physician.
