A NOTE FROM THE
SCHOOL NURSE
Our first Windham Central Supervisory Union (WCSU)
School Health Advisory Council (SHAC) meeting is scheduled for November 14,
2013, at 2:30 at L&G in Room A-14. Please join us.
The WCSU SHAC uses the Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention (CDC) Coordinated School Health (CSH) model,
designed to coordinate health and education. This comprehensive approach to
school health improves students' health and capacity to learn through support
of families, communities, and schools working together through prevention and
intervention.
The CSH model is based on the generally agreed upon
concept that healthy children are better learners, and experience school
success more readily when their health needs are addressed.
