Coordinated School Health Department

Connecting the APS community to opportunities and services that reduce barriers to learning and promote student and school success.

Assisting Schools with a Whole Child, Whole School, Whole Community Approach

We support a whole child, whole school, whole community approach to assist schools in their efforts to ensure that students are healthy, safe, engaged, supported, and challenged.

The department’s motto of “Making Connections Happen” is implemented through coordination and targeted alignment of the work of our five Units and both the services they provide to schools, students, and families AND the family and community partnerships that we foster.
