The goal of School Health Services is to ensure that students are able to achieve their full potential using a systematic approach to preventive health care.
 
Cheney Public Schools employs two full time certificated nurses who supervises and provides training to health aides assigned to provide health services to children at each school site.
 
The health services include, but are not limited to:
  • Assessment, management and referral of students with special health care needs;
  • Direct care of students and staff with acute care needs;
  • Ongoing assessment of health services needs for staff and students;
  • Training and supervision of health aides and LPNs, including medication and treatment administration;
  • Prevention based health education for groups and individuals;
  • Annual vision and hearing screening;
  • Health policy and program planning.
