The School Health Services Department
of the Fort Worth Independent School District is the department
charged with the responsibility of the health of the school child
while he is under school jurisdiction. A goal of the School Health
Services Department is to prepare the pupil upon maturity to
assume the responsibility for his/ her own health and the health
of others.
This department consists of Registered Professional Nurses with
Bachelor and/or Master of Science Degrees in Nursing or an allied
field. Nurses work closely with other school personnel to plan
and carry out the Total School Health Program.
Philosophy
The school nurse, a health specialist,
is the member of the total education team who is primarily concerned
with the whole child; his optimal physical, mental, emotional
and social development.
The primary objective of school nursing is to strengthen the
educational process of children and youth by assisting them in
improving or adapting to their health status. In collaboration
with other educators, the school nurse coordinates the school
health program contributing significantly to the full attainment
of health and education potential of each individual student.
