School Nursing Department

Our school nurses are essential members of our learning community—supporting the health, wellness, and academic success of every student.
Each day, they provide skilled, compassionate care to ensure students are safe, healthy, and ready to learn. From managing chronic conditions such as asthma, diabetes, epilepsy, and severe allergies, to responding to unexpected illness or injury, school nurses are trained to assess, treat, and support a wide range of health needs.

-
