From bandaging scraped knees in kindergarten to helping middle schoolers manage test anxiety with breathing strategies, and prioritizing healthy, safe environments, school-based nurses support students in many meaningful ways. Our students benefit from regular care provided by highly qualified professionals, and we are incredibly grateful for the dedicated nurses who serve our schools each day.

From bandaging scraped knees in kindergarten to practicing breathing exercises with middle schoolers experiencing test anxiety, and prioritizing healthy spaces, school-based nurses support schools in many ways. Thanks to our partnership with IMESD, students in our schools receive care from qualified personnel on a regular basis. We are so grateful for the wonderful nurses serving our schools.

Some lessons last a lifetime, and so does the memory of the people who teach them. The impact of having an amazing teacher can never be erased. To all our incredible teachers: We see you and we appreciate you.
