Mission Statement
Arlington Public Schools Health Services Department continually provides nursing services that promote optimal wellness for students, families and staff to ensure educational success. We strive to empower students and staff in the promotion of health and wellness through professional practice and education.
"School nursing, a specialized practice of nursing, protects and promotes student health, facilitates optimal development, and advances academic success. School nurses, grounded in ethical and evidence-based practice, are the leaders who bridge health care and education, provide care coordination, advocate for quality student-centered care, and collaborate to design systems that allow individuals and communities to develop their full potential" (Adopted by the NASN Board of Directors February 2017).
