School Nurses
Health Services & School Nurses
As registered nurses in the school setting, we are dedicated to supporting the health related needs of students. Our role includes identifying student health needs, advocating for best practice guidelines, developing and maintaining Individualized Health Plans (IHPs) for students with life-threatening conditions and/or other health related accommodations, monitoring immunization records, facilitating medication administration and medical treatments required at school, and consulting on infectious disease guidelines. We also oversee state-mandated vision and hearing screenings, connect families with community resources, and offer health education to students and staff. Our aim is to help keep students safe, healthy, and ready to learn.
