Health Services

Each MMSD School is served by a School nurse (RN) and a nurse assistant.

• Nurse Assistants care for ill and injured students, complete clerical work and carry out delegated nursing activities (such as giving medications) under the clinical supervision of the school nurse.
• As part of the Student Services Teams in schools, School Nurses provide a holistic health perspective related to the physical, mental and social emotional health of students. The School Nurse is responsible for coordinating and managing health needs of individual students during the school day as well as promoting health and safety for all students.
• The  Nurse Coaches are responsible for orientating, educating, and coaching nurses and nurse assistants. Each nurse coach is involved in program planning and implementation.
• The Assistant Director of Health Services is responsible for planning, overseeing health services budget, quality assurance, staffing, and supervises school nurses and nurse assistants.
