The Northshore School District has a long-standing commitment to student health and wellness. Each school has a Registered Nurse available to provide a wide range of services. At the beginning of each year nurses collect student health information to plan for needs during the school day.

If you have questions or concerns about your student's health or need resources, please contact your school's nurse.
