St. Johns Classical Academy
School Health Services
There is a strong relationship between academic achievement and a child’s physical, emotional and mental health, and providing school health and wellness services is an important component of a school program.
Our Health Services staff provides professional and compassionate health care to scholars during their school day. It is our mission to promote and maintain the physical and mental well-being of our scholars to ensure academic success.
At St. Johns Classical Academy schools our Health Services staff will provide care within their scope of practice and will provide school health services based on nursing judgment and school health protocols. The clinical management of scholars will be based on the nursing assessment, scholar’s medical history (if relevant and reported), symptoms described by the scholar, and the physical findings upon examination at the time of presentation. Parents have the right to Opt-Out of services.
Services are provided in accordance with a local School Health Services Plan (pursuant to section 381.0056, Florida Statutes), the Florida Statutes and Administrative Code Rules for School Health and Related Activities in Schools, and the St. Johns Classical Academy (SJCA) School Health Services Guidelines.
All scholars will be provided with emergency care, first aid treatment, and acute care (defined as providing medical care for sudden or severe symptoms that appear, change or worsen rapidly) as deemed necessary by a nurse’s initial assessment and clinical expertise.
