The Health Office is staffed by the school health team which is composed of a Health Clerk and District School Nurse. Health Clerks are certified in CPR and First Aid. They assist with daily health needs, administer first aid and meet illness needs that occur during the school day. The district school nurse leads the school health team. The district school nurse is a registered nurse in the state of California with a school health services credential. The district school nurse protects and promotes student health, facilitates optimal development, and advances academic success. The school health team bridges the gap between health care and education, provides care coordination, advocates for quality student-centered care, and collaborates to design systems that allow individuals and communities to develop their full potential.
