School Health Services Mission Statement
The mission of the Cobb County School Health
Services is to strengthen and facilitate the educational process
through improvement and protection of the health status of all
students. School nurses work as a team with school administrators,
teachers, counselors, school social workers, families and community
to identify and assist each student to reach their maximum state of
well-being.
“You cannot educate a child who is not healthy and you cannot
keep a child healthy who is not educated”
- Former US Surgeon General Jocelyn Elders, MD.
The Cobb County School District recognizes the
importance of the health and welfare of students and staff.
Therefore, the District establishes a school health service program
to address the health and safety of students and staff. The program
is staffed by a nursing supervisor, area consulting nurses, and
licensed nurses in each school.
We coordinate with the Cobb County Board of
Health in protecting children from certain symptoms of communicable
diseases. Bringing a child to school with any symptoms of
communicable illness puts other children at risk of getting sick. If
all parents keep their sick children at home, we will have stronger,
healthier and happier children. While we regret any inconvenience
this may cause, in the long run this means fewer lost workdays and
less illness for parents too.
