The School Nurses are responsible for promoting optimal levels of health and well-being within our school community. We collaborate with a student’s family, support their medical home, and provide care and compassion when a student is ill or injured.

We recognize that a healthy child learns better.  This is accomplished through the ongoing appraisal, promotion, and protection of student health and well-being:

• Appraisal: Health assessment, evaluations and screening
• Promotion: Health instruction, advocating for student health, community education
• Protection: Immunization compliance, tracking communicable diseases, promoting safety

Your School Nurses are:

Mary Massey, MEd, BSN, RN, Nationally Certified School Nurse (High School)
Jill Cannata, BSN, RN- LSN, Nationally Certified School Nurse (Middle School, OIP)
Christine Rogen, MPH, BSN, RN- LSN, Nationally Ceritified School Nurse (Elementary School)​​​​​​​

Communicable Diseases

Please report a communicable disease (flu, strep throat, pink eye, COVID-19, etc) to your building school nurse. 

When to Keep Your Child Home

Parents will be contacted when students need to go home from school due to illness or injury.
