School Nurses

Our school nurses facilitate the well-being and educational success of students through services directed toward keeping students healthy, in class and ready to learn. They promote health and safety, intervene with health concerns, provide case management services and communicate with stakeholders. School nursing includes, but is not limited to:
• Individual health care needs
• Health care plans
• Instruction and oversight for medication administration processes
• Emergency and injury care
• Communicable disease control and outbreak response in schools
• Student screenings for conditions that impact access to education, such as vision screening
• Health-related liaison between school personnel, family, community, and health care providers.
