• Nursing Services

    The health room staff treats illnesses and injuries that arise during the school day, as well as assists students and staff with the management of chronic health concerns. Our practice is guided by the Framework for 21st Century Nursing Practice.

    Please take a moment to review the guidelines page to assist you in making decisions regarding your child's health as it relates to the school day.
