Health Services

We are committed to ensuring a safe and healthy environment for all learners. Our staff of dedicated certificated registered school nurses, RNs, LPNs, and other support staff are experts in student health in the educational environment.  Please refer to the health guidelines for more information on when to keep your child home if they are sick.  

What We Do - Nurses work with students, families, and school staff to ensure that all children participate fully in our schools' educational programs. This begins with daily attendance, being well-rested, well-fed, and ready to learn. Our goal is that all children are successful in school. Please call your child's school nurse if you have any questions about your child's health at school. 

School nurses serve all students enrolled in Steilacoom Historical School District. The nurse's role is to ensure that students receive required screenings, are compliant with immunization laws, have required individual health plans (IHPs) in place. and school staff are trained on the essential and individual needs of students with chronic health conditions. They support a positive safe school climate, assist the school team in disability accommodations, provide direct nursing care, delegate safe medication administration to school staff, and participate in school health education.
