Beyond bandaging knees or handing out ice packs, the Redwood City School District (RCSD) nursing team supports student learning and academic progress in a truly holistic way which removes barriers to healthcare access and encourages a healthful school culture. “When a student comes into our office it’s not just to fix them and send them back to class,” said Phoebe Reid-Chambers, a School Nurse with RCSD for more than a decade. “We look at the whole scope of things.” Student access to healthcare helps engage students in the educational process, and the RCSD nursing team makes sure that students receive the care they need to be both healthy and academically successful. “We have to make sure that students are healthy and ready to learn,” she said. “We have to assess the student from all aspects.”

AAP Policy Statement on Off-Label Medication UseThe American Academy of Pediatrics has a position statement on the use of off-label medication use with children. The purpose of off-label use is to benefit the individual patient. Practitioners use their professional judgment to determine these uses. As such, the term “off-label” does not imply an improper, illegal, contraindicated, or investigational use. Therapeutic decision-making must always rely on the best available evidence and the importance of the benefit for the individual patient.
