“…This approach could include engaging diverse partners across education, health, and mental health to plan for and meet the needs of students and their families, particularly those who attended school virtually, is critical. 21 For some students, stressors related to COVID-19 and shifts in schooling may be exacerbated by pre-existing mental health challenges, including depression or anxiety, as well other, prior, or cooccurring traumas, such as witnessing domestic violence, child abuse or neglect, and financial or food insecurities. 22,23 These students may benefit from individual or family mental health services.…”

“…In response, school administrators may have invested more in the delivery of these much‐needed health services. Furthermore, the pandemic may have facilitated closer collaborations between schools, community partners, and local health departments as communities work together to fight the pandemic; a strategy that has been encouraged for school nurses 11 . These collaborations may offer additional staff or resources to assist schools in the delivery of health services.…”

BACKGROUND Schools have a long history of delivering health services, but it is unclear how the COVID‐19 pandemic may have disrupted this. This study examined changes in school‐based health services and student needs before and during the pandemic and the factors important for delivering school‐based health services. METHODS A web‐based survey regarding the impact of the pandemic on school‐based health services was distributed via email to all 1178 Virginia public elementary schools during May 2021. RESULTS Responding schools (N = 767, response rate = 65%) reported providing fewer school‐based health services during the 2020‐2021 school year than before the pandemic, with the largest declines reported for dental screenings (51% vs 15%) and dental services (40% vs 12%). Reports show that mental health was a top concern for students increased from 15% before the pandemic to 27% (P < .001). Support from families and school staff were identified by most respondents (86% and 83%, respectively) as very important for the delivery of school‐based health services. CONCLUSIONS Schools reported delivering fewer health services to students during the 2020‐2021 school year and heightened concern about students' mental health. Understanding what schools need to deliver health services can assist state and local education and health officials and promote child health.

“…The challenge to disseminate critical information to all stakeholders regarding the COVID-19 pandemic, such as mitigation strategies, everchanging guidelines, and clarifications to questions posed by school officials, rests on the LHD. The well-established relationship between school nurses and public health nurses of the LHD seemed to be a natural avenue to share this critical information with schools (Bullard et al, 2021).…”

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.
