What is Coordinated School Health?

Coordinated School Health (CSH) is an effective system designed to connect health (physical, emotional and social) with education. This coordinated approach improves students’ health and their capacity to learn through the support of families, communities and schools working together.

Eight Components of Coordinated School Health

Physical Education/Activity and Wellness
Nutrition
Health Education
Health Services
Student, Family and Community Partnerships
School Staff Wellness
School Counseling, Psychological and Social Services
Healthy School Environment

In an effort to collect information required by the Tennessee Department of Education, Healthy School Teams will complete the School Health Index (SHI) by scoring ALL modules in the school health index links. A friendly reminder, it's state mandated that ALL schools have an active healthy school team and participate in the SHI, yearly. Team leaders are expected to set two meeting dates per year (fall and spring), for their team.
