School Health Services takes a leadership role in assessing risks and fostering resilience to ensure that students achieve optimal health and well-being. It collaborates with other disciplines, programs and agencies to integrate and improve services, develop policies, and provide information about health issues and needs.

We ask parents and guardians to notify the School Nurse if their child has any medical problems, e.g. allergies, experiencing a stressful situation, chronic illness, vision or hearing difficulties, recent surgery etc. The School Nurse will work with the child’s physician, family, and school personnel to meet special health needs so the student fully accesses his or her education. All medications are administered by the nurse in the Health Office during school hours. Only FDA-approved medications are administered.
