There is a strong relationship between academic achievement and a child's physical, emotional and mental health. This link is the foundation for providing information on health services as an important component of a school program. School health services provide primary prevention aimed at keeping students in school through appropriate screenings, early identification of children at risk for physical, emotional and mental health concerns, and case management of students with chronic health concerns.
