Mission

The mission of the Capital Region Educational Council’s Health Services Team is to promote, protect, and enhance the health status of all students. School nurses assess and intervene to address actual and potential health concerns. We support the social, emotional, and physical well-being of students to facilitate optimal learning. Nurses encourage a collaborative partnership of all school staff, parents, and community members to achieve this mission.

Vision

To exceed the expectations of our students, their families, and our staff and community members.
