District Nurses

School nurses are vital members of the educational team, dedicated to promoting student well-being and academic success.

They engage in risk reduction by conducting hearing and vision screenings, and they serve as coordinators of care—bridging the gap between students, families, schools, and medical providers. Providing both direct care and health education, school nurses are also a crucial resource for referrals to community services, such as obtaining glasses, immunizations, or dental services.

Their comprehensive approach ensures a healthier, safer, and more supportive learning environment for all students.
