The School Nurse / Health Office
Our school nurse participates in a variety of roles in providing healthcare to our students and families. She is often the only healthcare professional that a student may see in a non-emergency situation. In using her experience and knowledge, and community resources, she is often the gatekeeper for entire families to navigate a complex healthcare system.
Our nurse assists many with students with acute and chronic healthcare needs, and social emotional problems. She is the first responder in the event of a tragedy or medical emergency on campus. She is an indispensable component of the school team. Some of her duties are as follows:
- Social emotional assessments (substance use, suicide risk, depression)

- Manage diabetic care
- Collaborate with Teachers regarding field trips, Special Education, Sports Physicals
- Screenings for hearing and vision
