Our health staff are available in school buildings to assess learners’ well-being related to accidents, injuries, or illness. They are also responsible for handling chronic health conditions, immunizations, allergies, medication, and screenings.
If your child has a chronic health condition or needs emergency medication that the nurse's office should be aware of, please contact your child's school health office prior to your child attending.

Hearing and Vision screenings are conducted each fall for grades K, 1, 3, and 5. You will be notified if your child does not pass the screening. If you have concerns about your child's hearing and vision, you can request a screening at any time during the school year. Contact your child's health office.
