School Health Office

Welcome to the Long Branch School Health Office

Arlington Public Schools health services are provided by the School Health Bureau of the Public Health Division of Arlington County’s Department of Human Services. The mission of the School Health Bureau is to provide students and their families with preventive and early intervention services that enable the student to learn to the best of his or her potential.

Our School is staffed with a School Health Aide. Additionally, we have an assigned Public Health Nurse (PHN). School Public Health Nurses cover anywhere from 1 to 3 schools.
