AAPS’s Approach to Student Health and Well-Being

AAPS embraces a whole child approach to student health and wellness, using the Centers for Disease Whole School, Whole Community, Whole Child model as framework. Learn more about the model here: Whole School, Whole Community, Whole Child Model Fact Sheet

Research shows that the health of students is linked to their academic achievement. By working together, school staff and community partners aim to ensure that every young person in every school in every community is healthy, safe, engaged, supported, and challenged.
