Rolling Ridge School

Nurse

Welcome to the Nurse's Office.

The main function of the school nurse and the nurse's aide is to provide for the health concerns of students, managing health problems and injuries when they occur, administer medications, and provide support for the teachers with up-to-date health information and health lessons for the classroom.

Children who are healthy, and who are getting good nutrition and proper rest are better able to learn and participate in class.

Please inform the school nurse if there are any health concerns for your child that the school should be aware of and any changes in emergency contact information or phone numbers.
