May 6-12 is School Nurse Week!
Championing the Whole Student
THANK YOU TO OUR SCHOOL NURSES OF THE ELMIRA CITY SCHOOL DISTRICT!
May 6- May 12, 2021 is National School Nurse Week! We are honoring more than 95,000 #schoolnurses in the United States who make a difference in the lives of children every day! Of course, our focus in Elmira is to honor our school nurses who work tirelessly every day to ensure the health and safety of our students.
School nurses champion the whole student every day of the year. School nurses serve as a critical health hub for students, ensuring that students are ready for learning by managing complex chronic conditions; identifying and addressing mental health issues; leveling the field on health disparities and promoting healthy behaviors; enrolling children in health insurance and connecting families to healthcare providers; handling medical emergencies… and now, navigating through the COVID-19 pandemic by testing, tracking and vaccinating students and school personnel.
Whole School, Whole Community, Whole Child Model
We are Championing the Whole Student at #SND2021 on May 12. #schoolnurses
