Goals of the School Health Services Program
"School Nursing is a specialized practice of professional nursing that advances the well being, academic success, and life-long achievement of students. The school nurse's primary role is to support student learning by acting as an advocate and liason between the home, the school, and the medical community regarding concerns that are likely to affect a student's
ability to learn (NASN 1999)."

Discussion Topics Class Announcements IllnessWe are seeing many children with flu and cold symptoms in the clinic. Prevention remains the most effective way to stay healthy. Influenza (flu) is occurring throughout Prince William County, and it is likely we will continue to see more cases during the upcoming flu season. Influenza is thought to spread mainly person-to-person through coughing or sneezing by those already infected. There are several important steps that you can follow to help your child stay healthy, and to ensure that Bristow run is a healthy place to be.
