- to protect and promote optimal health status for students and school personnel.
- proving emergency care for student and school personnel injury and sudden illness.
- helping to prevent and control disease.
The school nurse acts as a liaison between parents, educational and medical personnel. The nurse plans, co-ordinates and implements modifications in the school program that are necessary to meet the health needs of your child. The nurse's maintain health records, generate nursing care plans, and participate in PPT'S where there are health related issues.
