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 an 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.
