We Care About Our Kids    CLICK FOR FLU AND COVID-19 INFORMATION

USD 261's Health Services Department can assist with the health needs of children and coordinate with staff, families, healthcare providers, and community agencies by providing health care assessment, intervention, and follow-up for all children within the school setting to promote the maximum educational opportunity for all students. However, we believe that parents have the primary responsibility for their children's health, but together we can provide a safe and healthful school experience for your child.

The School Nurse or Health Aide in your child's school is your primary contact for your health concerns within the school setting. If you have any health concerns for your children that may impact their educational experience, please do not hesitate to contact your school nurse, health aide or principal. Also, please call or visit with your family physician or other healthcare providers concerning your child's health issues.

Children enjoy school more and learn better when they feel well and are healthy. Teachers can be most effective when they understand the health status and needs of their students and can adapt instructional programs accordingly.

If you have any questions or concerns about services available, please contact Beth Schutte, RN District School Nurse at 554-2200 or email at [email protected]
