    Department Overview

    The health services staff is here to partner with you and the school faculty/staff to ensure a healthy and safe environment for your child to learn and grow.   Each school building has a health office that is staffed by a nurse and is accessible to your child during school hours.  Our goal is to help keep your child healthy and in school learning.  If your child has a chronic health issue, concern or special needs, we will work with you and your doctor to ensure your child has his/her needs met.  Please contact your child's nurse for any concerns at any time during the school year.

Keep Calm
  • A few quick reminders to keep your child healthy and in school learning:
    • Wash hands frequently, before/after eating, after using the restroom and after blowing the nose.  If soap and water are unavailable, use hand sanitizer.
    • Cover all coughs and sneezes.
    • Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth.  Germs spread this way. 
    • Keep your child home if he or she is ill.
    • Fever is considered equal to or greater than 100 degrees Fahrenheit 
    • The student must be fever-free for 24 hours without fever-reducing medication such as Tylenol or Ibuprofen before they may return to school. 
    • Get the flu shot to keep your child healthy. 
    • Eat nutritious meals, drink plenty of water and get plenty of rest to build strong immune systems. 
    See our Communicable Diseases Resource page for other common childhood illnesses that your student is likely to encounter during their childhood years.  We strive to provide a healthy, learning environment for your child each and every day.  It also takes parents, patrons and community partners to help minimize illnesses circulating in our community.  Together, we can help prevent the spread of summertime colds and viruses.
