The mission of the school health offices of the Masconomet and the Tri-Town Region is to promote the optimal wellness in every school-age child so that he/she may best be able to learn. In order to accomplish this, we must develop a strong link between parents, school and community resources and the school health offices. The role of your school nurse has been expanded to include the following:

First aid treatment/routine and emergency
Illness assessment/referral and follow-up
Environmental health and safety
Infectious control
Health education and consultation to students, staff and parents
(individual and/or classroom)
Health counseling
Mandated screenings
Medication administration
Case management of children with special needs
Screening and referral for mental health concerns
Emergency care planning

We encourage you to communicate any health concerns/developments to your school nurse. Together we can help your child to succeed.
