School Health Services

Whole School, Whole Community, Whole Child
The Owen J. Roberts School District is dedicated to promoting the health and well-being of every child. Health and education affect individuals, society, and the economy and, as such, must work together whenever possible. Schools are a perfect setting for this collaboration. Schools are one of the most efficient systems for reaching children and youth to provide health services and programs, as approximately 95 percent of all U.S. children and youth attend school. At the same time, integrating health services and programs more deeply into the day-to-day life of schools and students represents an untapped tool for raising academic achievement and improving learning. Owen J. Roberts uses the CDC/ASCD Whole School, Whole Community, Whole Child (WSCC) approach.

The CDC/ASCD WSCC model consists of ten interactive components:

 

• Health Education
• Physical Education and Physical Activity
• Social Emotional and School Climate
• Health Services
• Nutrition Environment and Services
• Counseling, Psychological and Social Services
• Healthy Physical Environment
• Employee Wellness
• Family Engagement
• Community Involvement
