Health & Wellness
The mission of EPS Health Services is to partner with families, teachers, administrators, nutrition services, and other district departments to promote optimal physical and emotional student health for optimal learning.
We know that to be successful in life -- and most importantly happy -- we must also support the mental and emotional development of our students throughout their developmental years with us. Edina Public Schools partners with local providers to offer ease of access to support and we have a list of resources that can help answer your questions.
