Multidisciplinary collaboration for healthy student outcomes is not a new concept for school nurses nor is working with public health officials in promoting school–community initiatives. The SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19; severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2, coronavirus disease 2019) virus further highlighted the need to work together to promote best practice strategies to arm the community with information and guidance to prevent illness. The McHenry County Health Department recognized the expertise school nurses have in school health and formed a voluntary School Nurse Task Force. This collaboration worked to implement requirements for operating a school during a pandemic. The task force adapted those concepts into a toolkit to assist schools to meet health requirements throughout the most significant pandemic in over 100 years.
