At Pender County Schools we are committed to promoting the health and well-being of our students, fostering an environment where they can thrive academically, socially, and emotionally.
Key Principles and Objectives:
Student-Centered Care: Our primary focus is on meeting the individual health needs of each student, ensuring they have the support necessary to succeed in school.
Preventive Health Education: We aim to empower students with the knowledge and skills needed to make healthy lifestyle choices, promoting long-term wellness.
Collaborative Partnerships: We work closely with parents, school staff, healthcare providers, and community organizations to create a network of support for students' health needs.
Timely Intervention: We provide timely and efficient health services, including screenings, assessments, and referrals, to address health issues and prevent them from impacting students' academic performance.
Equity and Accessibility: We strive to ensure that all students have access to quality health services, regardless of their background or circumstances, promoting equity and inclusivity within our school community.
Continuous Improvement: We continuously evaluate and improve our health services programs to meet the evolving needs of our students and the community, staying at the forefront of best practices in school health services.
