Services include:

Our Goal: help students stay healthy, stay in school, and do their best.

Role of the Registered School Nurse
Registered school nurses support student learning by protecting and improving students’ health. They identify and help remove health‑related barriers to learning, provide expert guidance on student health needs, and work closely with families, school staff, community partners, and medical providers.
They also lead the school health team by delegating and supervising clinic assistants, licensed practical nurses, and trained staff who provide daily health services to students.
