Abstract
The school building provides a unique opportunity to prevent, identify, and treat illness in children. School staff must be prepared to care for children with acute and chronic health care needs and pediatricians should be aware of the health resources available in local schools for their patients. This article provides an overview of multiple school-based health topics including the roles of various school health professionals, medication administration in the school setting, the legal protections around health information, school-based health centers, and the rise of telehealth. Most importantly, this article reminds providers that school-based health resources are all unique to each school and school district; all parents of children with health needs should meet with their school's administration to understand what resources are available.
