Welcome to the APS Health Services Department

At the APS Health Services Department, we are dedicated to fostering an environment where students can flourish, realizing their full potential when health and well-being are prioritized.

Health Services provides coordinated school-based nursing services and district health initiatives to ensure the delivery of quality individualized support for students. A comprehensive health services approach provides support to enhance educational achievement by improving and protecting the health status of students through disease prevention, early detection, and removal or mitigation of health-related barriers to learning.
