School Nurses

Each school building is staffed daily by a registered nurse. The nurses provide care for students who are not feeling well, respond to emergency situations in buildings, and provide advanced first aid. Nurses also provide care coordination, health record maintenance, and health promotion across the District.

Nurses work with students, families, staff, and the community to ensure that children’s health needs are met so that they can attend school and be healthy and ready to learn. Student health includes a variety of supports to help eliminate any barriers to learning that a student may encounter over the course of their education. These supports are for both students and families and include services provided in collaboration with community agencies.
