Children's Mental Health Week

This week, from May 4 through 10, we recognize Children’s Mental Health Awareness Week.

We are inviting everyone to WEAR GREEN on May 8 in support of National Children’s Mental Health Awareness Day. The work of supporting mental health is not limited to one season—it’s a year-round commitment. We look forward to helping you learn more with updates this month!

School Nurse Day

Our school nurses connect families to community resources, help break down barriers to healthcare access, and support student success. Together, our nurses form a health team that ensures all students—no matter the school or their needs—receive consistent and quality care with continuity. Please help us celebrate these vital health professionals on Wednesday, May 7 for School Nurse Day!

We hope you enjoy and share these updates and join us in celebrating our teachers, educators, and all staff in Orange County Schools!
