Summary:

National School Nurse Day Proclamation May 8, 2024 Whereas, students are the future and, by investing in them today, we are ensuring our world for tomorrow; and Whereas, families deserve to feel confident that their children will be cared for when they are at school; and Whereas, all students have a right to have their physical and mental health needs safely met while in the school setting; and Whereas, students today face more complex and life-threatening health problems requiring care in school; and Whereas, school nurses have served a critical role in improving public health and in ensuring student’s academic success for more than 120 years; and Whereas, school nurses are professional nurses that advance the well-being, academic success, and life-long achievements of all students by serving on the front lines and providing a critical safety net for our nation's most fragile children: and Whereas, school nurses act as a liaison to the school community, families, and healthcare providers on behalf of children’s health by promoting wellness and improving health outcomes for our school’s children; and Whereas, school nurses support the health and educational success of children and youth by providing access to care when children’s cognitive development is at its peak; and Whereas, school nurses are members of school-based teams (e.g., school health services, 504/ IEP, disaster/emergency planning) to address the school population; and Whereas, school nurses understand the link between health and learning and are in a position to make a positive difference for children every day; now Therefore, be it Resolved, that the Pueblo School District No. 60 Board of Education does hereby proclaim Wednesday, May 8, 2024, as National School Nurse Day. |
