School nures work with students, families, and school staff to ensure that all children can participate fully in school. 

Children will often leave the house in the morning and seem completely healthy. Sometimes a student's health may change over the course of the day and he/she can become sick or injured while at school. 

When a child comes to the school health room, he or she will be assessed by the school nurse or the health aide. This assessment might include cheching a student's temperature or asking clarifying questions about their symptoms. If a student experiences an injury, often an initial cleaning up of a scrape and the application of a band-aid or ice pack will alleviate the problem. The child may rest and be observed for a short time to see if the symptoms resolve.

If it is determined that your child is truly sick or injured, the parent or guardian will be called. Please make sure that your phone number and those of your emergency contacts are accurate and updated.
