Health Office

Hello and welcome!

 

As the school nurse at St. Clair Public School, I’m here to support the health and wellness of all students—every grade, every day. From minor injuries and illness to health plans and medications, my goal is to help students stay healthy, safe, and ready to learn.

 

I work closely with families and staff to manage individual health needs and respond to unexpected issues that may come up during the school day. If your child has a medical condition, needs medication at school, or if you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to reach out anytime.

 

Looking forward to a safe and healthy school year!
