Our Health Services team collaborates with educational and support services within the school and the community to promote student health for student achievement. Licensed School Nurses (LSN), Registered Nurses (RN), and health office assistants work together to meet students’ physical, social, and emotional health needs, in addition to promoting the health and safety of the entire school community. Our school health offices are staffed each student day by a health office assistant with Licensed School Nurse support in the building or on-call within the District.
