Health and Nursing Services support students by managing health-related barriers to learning. Direct services are provided to students through the combined efforts of a health room, clerical assistant, school secretary, designated teachers, and instructional aides.
The District Nurse coordinates the services through training, delegation, and supervision of staff, and acts as a liaison between school, home, health care providers, and/or community resources.
Minor illness or injury in a student while at school will be taken care of by a health room assistant, or another staff member who is trained to handle these situations. In case of serious illness or injury, district staff will provide basic care and use emergency medical services by calling 9-1-1 and calling parent(s)/guardian(s).
