School Nurse

Booker T. has a full-time DOHMH/Office of School Health nurse on-site.

Our school nurses are actively involved in school health programs.

School nurses:

  • provide prescribed nursing services to students with a medically prescribed treatment (non-medication) form on file.
  • monitor students with chronic health problems, and inform parents if health problems are getting worse.
  • schedule students for physician assessments if needed.
  • teach classes on asthma management (Open Airways) and diabetes prevention (HOP).
  • support programs like Connecting Adolescents to Comprehensive Health (CATCH).
