The mission of the Bexley City Schools’ Health Clinics is to promote and protect the health, well-being and academic success of all students. We are committed to providing high-quality care addressing physical health needs and fostering a safe and supportive learning environment. In collaborating with families, educators and the community we strive to ensure every student has access to resources and care necessary to thrive both in and out of the classroom.
This mission statement highlights the key elements of school nursing; health, well-being, academic success, collaboration and care.
Health services increase school attendance and reduce barriers to learning and academic achievement. Our clinic staff works closely with school counselors to address a student’s social-emotional and physical health needs.
Our school health clinics are operated by 3 registered nurses, 1 licensed practical nurse and a certified medical assistant.
If medication must be given at school, an authorization form should be completed. Both prescription and non-prescription medications require an authorization form to be completed. The Health Clinics stock a small amount of over-the-counter medications that could be administered with your verbal permission on an as-needed basis. Whenever possible student medications should be given at home.
