School Nurses Support Student Success
School nurses advocate for all children to promote optimal health. They provide health expertise to the entire school community. In addition to providing first aid and assisting students with medications, they conduct health assessments including vision and hearing screenings, participate as the health specialist on the IEP Team, provide health education on a wide variety of topics to all ages including parents and staff, provide health counseling and wellness programs for the school staff, acts as a liaison between home, school and the medical community, and help control communicable disease spread by assuring immunization law compliance. They also work with other school personnel to assure a school environment that is safe and conducive to learning.
All of our current nursing staff members are licensed to practice nursing in Ohio. To reach the nurse assigned to your child’s school, call the school office.
