Student Health
Healthy Students, Ready Learners

Our students learn best when they are healthy. At Green Woods Charter School we are dedicated to promoting and protecting the health of students as well as our staff. One of the most important goals of a school nurse is to help identify health conditions that may adversely impact a student from learning.
The 2023-2024 GWCS Health and Safety plan was developed with the most up to date guidance from the Centers for Disease Control, Philadelphia Department of Public Health, and Pennsylvania Department of Education.
Health Room Policies
Important Note:
Any student that is absent for 3 or more consecutive days will require a doctor’s note upon return to school.
Families notified to pick up a child from the health room are required to arrive to the health room within 1 hour of the initial phone call from the School Nurse. All families are required to have backup plans in place to avoid any delay. This requirement is not only for the comfort of your own child, but for the consideration of other Green Woods students that may become ill and require confidential care in the nurse's office. Thank you for your cooperation in this matter.
