Health Services

School nursing involves so much more than Band-Aids!

School Nurses are a vital link in the school team to coordinate and provide care for all students. School Nurses provide an endless list of services to our students, staff, and Jericho families on a daily basis including and not limited to managing diabetes, asthma, life threatening allergies, safety issues and administration of medications.
