Health Services

The goal of School Health Services is to ensure that students are able to achieve their full potential using a systematic approach to preventive and continuous health care. Cheney Public Schools employs certificated nurses who provide health services to children at each school site. District certificated nurses also supervise and train health aides who assist with health services across the district.

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;
• Provide care to students via Section 504 Accommodation plans;
• Ongoing assessment of health service 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.
