Welcome to the School Health Office!
As your school nurse, I am here to support the health, safety, and well-being of every student so they can thrive in the classroom and beyond. School nursing is a specialized practice of nursing that advances the well-being, academic success, and lifelong achievement of students. By addressing both physical and mental health needs, I help ensure that students are healthy, safe, and ready to learn each day.
School nurses play a vital role in bridging health and education. From managing chronic conditions and responding to emergencies, to promoting healthy habits and providing referrals for care, I work as part of the school team to support the whole child. My goal is to create a healthy school environment where every student has the opportunity to succeed.
While my office is based at the High School, I support students and staff across all district buildings throughout the school day. I’m frequently at the High School and Middle School, and also spend time at Leonard, E.E. Knight, and the Alternative High School as needs arise. No matter the building, I’m always available by phone or appointment to ensure students receive the care they need.
