Nurse & Health
---------------------------------------------------
Our school nurse is actively involved in school health programs. Our school nurse provides:
- schedule students for physician assessments if needed.
- give prescribed medicine to students with a medication administration form (MAF) on file.
- provide prescribed nursing services to students with a medically prescribed treatment (non-medication) form on file.
- monitor students with chronic health problems, and inform parents if health problems are getting worse.
