School health services are provided through the combined efforts of the school, the nurse, school physician, school dentist, and the Pennsylvania Department of Health.

The Health Office is an important part of the school. Students receive nursing care, first aid, treatment of illness or injury occurring in school, physical exams, and some screening exams. The nurse is available during school hours. Please feel free to phone the school and ask to be connected to the Health Office if your child is experiencing a health-related issue or to inquire about the school’s medication policy.
