Salem Public School Nurses work in collaboration with faculty, staff, and administration in each building to ensure that every student has a healthy and safe environment in which to learn. Our goal is to enhance the educational process by promoting good health in the entire school community.
Please consult the Wellness Policy Guidelines that have been adopted by the School Committee for information on how our schools are working to promote health and wellness.
Classroom celebrations, especially in the elementary school setting, can be a challenge as we work to support healthy eating habits in the face of childhood obesity and life-threatening food allergies. Please contact your school nurse or main office for creative suggestions on ways to celebrate special occasions that do not involve food.
Please refer any questions about our Wellness Policy to your school nurse.
