2026-2027 School Health Services Resources

Thank you for your assistance in consistently sharing your data with the Division of Child and Family Well-Being related to health services provided in your public-school unit (PSU). This information is used to assist with local school health program development, to inform stakeholders in school health who work with student issues, and to describe school health services that are provided by school nurses across the state. Copies of past summary reports are available on the School Nursing Support webpage.

Most questions related to report forms should be addressed through review of the related Definitions and Directions. Any remaining questions may be directed to Jennifer.Corso@dhhs.nc.gov. Assistance in completing the forms may be obtained from your Regional School Health Nurse Consultant.

Please review and share the Definitions and Directions with ALL school nurses. For the 2026-2027 school year, there have been report revisions. This will ensure data integrity within your PSU and address questions from the onset of data collection. Consider utilizing the School Health Data Workbook available at the bottom of the School Health Services Resource page. Use of this workbook is optional; but if implemented, ensures consistent data collection entries throughout the school year.

Important reminders regarding specific reports: Staffing Form A and Screening Form B are Excel spreadsheets. You will need to download these documents, enter your local information, and save the spreadsheets to your computer. When submitting Staffing Form A and Screening Form B, you will be required to upload the Excel spreadsheet once you begin the online report survey just as you would add an attachment to an email message. An email confirmation will be sent within 24 hours if your report is successfully submitted. Check your spam or junk folders before contacting your regional consultant. Note: Attaching the document from a cloud-based account such as a Google Drive is not an allowable function.

Section One report focuses on workforce and policy related data. Section Two captures school health service data throughout the school year. Both reports have integrated worksheets in addition to definitions and direction documents. Annual review and downloading of these reports are encouraged prior data collection.

Report Submission Due Dates*:
Due no later than December 1 - Staffing Form A and Section One
Due no later than June 20 - Section Two and Screening Form B
*Refer to each specific report for details

Section One

Due annually no later than December 1.

Thank you for completing this survey each school year. The worksheets and forms are in Microsoft Word and in Excel programs. Open each document and then save it to your computer as it is titled with your district name added to the beginning of the file name. You can begin using these documents at any time. The forms are available on the School Health Services Resources webpage.

This report is expected from all PSUs and public charter schools in North Carolina. A PSU completing this form should not count data from a charter school in their county, as charter schools will complete their own reports. Please note that an Excel School Health Data Workbook is also available under Additional Resources at the bottom of the webpage that provides tools for desktop collection and recording of data by individual school nurses for each school served.

Most of the reporting form is self-explanatory. Changes since last year have been noted and will also be reviewed through the School Health Nurse Consultants at regional meetings. For the 2026-27 school year, Staffing Form A and Section One are a combined report. At the end of Section One, the PSU Staffing Form A will be uploaded. As a helpful hint, you are encouraged to complete Staffing Form A first and save it to your desktop or computer. The definitions that follow are to assist you in collecting and reporting the data accurately. In some questions, the choices are listed in a format that asks you to choose one or more or fill in the blank if “other” is chosen. Please contact your regional consultant for assistance or further clarification as needed.

We will provide reminders in November and in May. Contact your Regional School Health Nurse Consultant if your school year ends after June 20, and a revision to Section One will be necessary due to change in the total number of nursing positions. If revisions are needed in June, Section One Revisions will be completed by the Regional Nurse Consultant after submission of the revised Staffing Form A.
