Progress Details
In October of 2011, 40% of students in preschool and kindergarten along with 13% of the general student population faced some deficiency in the basic health requirements needed for school entry (i.e., tuberculosis clearance, physical examination, and immunizations). After intense efforts last school year and a remarkable start to this current year, both of those rates have dropped to 0% as seen above. The health aides also made a pointed effort to update the contact records for the entire school to ensure that the guardians of as many children as possible can be reached in the case of an emergency. Additionally, the health aides remained vigilant over the pediculosis (i.e., head lice) situation that has been a chronic problem within our school community. Perhaps most importantly, all of this work was completed while the health aides did an incredible job of meeting the everyday basic health needs of students with a level of professionalism and care that could rival that of any other health room in the state.
The Kamaile Health Room meets the everyday basic health needs of students with a level of professionalism and care that could rival that of any other health room in the state. At they same time, the health aides support special wellness initiatives at the school such as the Body Mass Index (BMI) Screening pictured here. In conjunction with ATSU medical students and Kamaile High School volunteers, the BMI’s of our youngest students are tracked annually to provide a basic indication of health progress.
