The goal of school health services is to strengthen and facilitate the educational process by improving and protecting the health status of children and staff. Parents/guardians and educational professionals know that the health and intellectual development of children are inextricably related. Healthy children learn better. Certain health services are mandated by the state because they are necessary either to protect the public health or to support the continuing participation of children in school. For instance, screening of students for current immunization helps to reduce absences due to illness. Screening for reduced vision or hearing identifies the need for equipment or accommodations to remove obstacles to learning. School health services staff provide physical and emotional support so that children can better cope with periodic illness and injury, which are commonly a part of growing up.
