Student health, safety and well-being are essential to learning. Our school nurse plays a vital role in ensuring that every child feels cared for, supported and ready to learn each day. By addressing both everyday health needs and ongoing medical conditions, our nurse helps create a safe and healthy environment where students can thrive.

School nursing is a specialized practice that promotes student wellness and strengthens academic success. At BHS, our school nurse partners closely with families, teachers, administrators and health care providers to identify needs early, coordinate care and remove health-related barriers to learning. This includes supporting students with chronic or complex medical conditions, developing individualized health plans when needed and helping students build confidence in managing their own health.

In addition to providing direct care for illness and injury, our school nurse promotes healthy habits, fosters safe school environments and connects families with community resources when additional support is needed. The goal is to ensure every student can participate fully in school and feel their best.

Our school nurse provides:

• Assessment and care for illness and injury
• Support for acute, chronic and complex health needs
• Medication administration and care coordination
• Health screenings and referrals
• Individualized health plans, as needed
• Guidance for families on health-related questions and concerns
