ASCENDER Health Training Guide
The Health application provides school nurses with the ability to maintain health records for everything from immunizations to accidents. Records can be maintained for students as well as for staff.
The Health application gives school nurses the tools required to manage school health data in an efficient, cost-effective manner, thereby enabling them to concentrate on student health issues and not on paperwork.
NOTE: ASCENDER follows the Texas Minimum State Vaccine Requirements.
The Health directory is used to retrieve records for students in Health if you do not know the student ID. The page is accessed by clicking Directory on the Health Maintenance pages.
NOTE: If you are viewing data for a prior school year and you have been granted historical read-only access in Security Administration, the data is read-only.
❏ You can search for a student by last and/or first name. Other options allow you to narrow the search further. Enter data in any or all of the following fields:
❏ Click Search. The students who meet the criteria entered are displayed.
