School nursing, a specialized practice of nursing, protects and promotes student health, facilitates optimal development, and advances academic success. School nurses, grounded in ethical and evidence-based practice, are the leaders who bridge health care and education, provide care coordination, advocate for quality student-centered care, and collaborate to design systems that allow individuals and communities to develop their full potential.  - National Association of School Nurses , 2017

As an advocate for the individual student, the school nurse provides skills and education that encourage problem solving, effective communication, and collaboration with others.  We will promote the concept of self-management which enables students to manage their condition and to make life decisions well beyond the classroom.     The CSN will advocate for safety by participating in the development of school safety plans to address bullying, school violence, and the full range of emergency incidents that may occur at school.  The health room will perform the state mandated screenings and make the necessary referrals, and follow-up on their progress.  Following the PA Nurse Practice Act and EPSD policies and protocols, we assess injuries, administer medication and perform medical treatment.  Our goal is to provide excellency in health care, keep students in school and empower them to perform to their optimal academic ability.
