Health Services
-
We take the health of our students very seriously and believe that in order for our students to be successful in the classroom, they must have access to health services. Each of our buildings has an assigned registered nurse who holds a baccalaureate degree or higher. Our nurses also maintain a nursing license through the Ohio Board of Nursing, as well as a pupil services license through the Ohio Department of Education. We serve many roles in the school system with our primary focus on disease prevention, service coordination, and improving the overall health of our students, allowing them to reach their fullest academic potential.
