Coordinated School
Health Program
The Coordinated School Health Program at the Washington State
Department of Health is working toward healthy schools and healthy,
successful students by coordinating effective policies and programs,
and encouraging the collaboration of schools, communities and
families. This program is in partnership with the
Washington State Office of
Superintendent of Public Instruction. It is supported by funding
from the
Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention.
A coordinated school health program brings together school
administrators, teachers, other staff, students, families, and
community members to assess health needs, set priorities and plan,
implement, and evaluate school health program activities. There are
eight components of a coordinated
school health program:
| •
Health education |
•
Physical education |
| •
Health services |
•
Mental health and social services |
| •
Nutrition services |
•
Healthy and safe school environments |
| •
Health promotion for school staff |
•
Family and community involvement |
