Health Services

 

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. 

The State of Washington schedules students in grades Kindergarten, 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 5th, and 7th for routine vision and hearing screening.

Please notify the nurse if you wish to excuse your child from the screening.
