Who we are:
Salem Public Schools school nurses, promote and protect the health, wellness, and safety of all members of our school community. Each of our schools is staffed with full-time registered nurses who are valuable resources for any health-related questions or concerns.
What we do:
School nurses facilitate student health through education, advocacy, state-required health screenings, maintenance of student health records, communication, and outreach with families and medical providers. Our work helps all students to succeed academically, socially, emotionally, and physically.
When to call:
It is important to notify your child’s school nurse whenever there are changes in their health status. Please contact the nurse if your child has:
- new medication or changes to current medication
- new diagnosis or condition
- recent or planned hospitalizations or surgeries
- new injuries requiring school accommodations
Additionally, please help us to reach you as needed by keeping your child’s school informed of any changes in phone numbers or addresses.
