Health Services
Welcome to the Effingham County School System School Health Services site. Please see helpful links below.
Each of our schools is staffed with a full-time Registered Nurse and able to provide appropriate, evidence based, compassionate care to your child.
Please do not hesitate to contact your child's school nurse for any questions or concerns. If you need additional assistance, feel free to reach out to me.
Thank you for being part of our family,

Important Flu Information & Resources
Our entire state, like much of the country, is seeing VERY HIGH levels of flu activity.
Please help us contain illness by keeping your child home when they do not feel well!
As a reminder, our district policy (student handbook, pg 53- Illness at School) requires children with 100.2 temp or higher, vomiting, or diarrhea remain home until 24 hours symptom free without the use of fever reducing medications. Additionally, congestion, cough, shortness of breath, and rash should be kept home and medical attention is recommended.
Check out these resources regarding flu and the map demonstrating flu activity in our state and country.
