The Orono School Department provides the following health services to
promote student wellness and reduce health barriers that may influence a
student’s educational program:

receive the appropriate care with the least possible disruption to the
educational program.
- Collaboration with parents, school staff and community health agencies.
- Health assessments, including health and developmental history, physical exams, vision, hearing and scoliosis screenings.
