The health services department is comprised of Registered Nurses, Licenced Practical Nurses and Unlicensed Health Assistants.

Bethel District Nurses are assigned to several schools and rotate to provide services. Their goal is to advocate for all children through school nursing services in order to maintain a healthy environment for Bethel students. Our nurses train and guide the team of health assistants in caring for the day-to-day student needs at every school site.

School nursing is a specialized practice of nursing, one which protects and promotes student health, facilitates optimal development, and advances academic success.

Our District nurses:

• Are committed to educational excellence and wellbeing of each student
• Improve the student experience through the management of health-related challenges to promote optimal levels of wellness
• Actively seek to provide assessment, planning, intervention, evaluation or referral for students
• Serve as a direct link among physicians, families and community agencies to assure access and continuity of health care for students
• Provide relevant instruction, teaching and guidance to students, parents and staff concerning health-related issues
• Work cooperatively with the Bethel Health Center to provide student health services as well as other community health resources to access care for students
