School Nurses

Navigation

Student health and safety are paramount to all Sycamore staff members. While parents hold the primary responsibility for their children's health, our school health program and school nurses support families and healthcare providers in promoting and maintaining the well-being of Sycamore students.

The goal of our school nurses is to help students achieve their optimum physical and emotional health to ensure academic success. The school nurses of Sycamore Community Schools work towards this goal by providing:

Screening programs
Health counseling and education
Communicable disease control
First aid and safety
Family assistance

To assist school nurses in achieving this goal, parents and guardians are encouraged to share information about their child's health history, serious illnesses or accidents, fractures, need for stitches, mental health issues, and any additional screenings a student may need.

Helping Students Stay Healthy

Sycamore School Nurses screen for and identify health problems that may interfere with a child's ability to learn. We conduct health screenings for hearing, vision, and other issues, and we frequently recognize additional health problems that need attention.

If you think your child might have a health problem or you’re concerned about their behavior, talk to your School Nurse. The School Nurse can help you decide if your child needs to see a doctor or another healthcare provider.

If your family doesn’t have insurance or can’t afford medical care, the School Nurse can help you find clinics and other programs your family might qualify for.

Managing Chronic Health Problems

Children often come to school with chronic health problems such as diabetes, asthma, and food allergies. The School Nurse assists these children in taking their medications on time and managing their conditions during the school day.

By keeping health problems under control, School Nurses help students enjoy better health, have fewer absences, and focus better on their schoolwork.

Keeping Students Safe

Teaching & Promoting Healthy Behaviors

Sycamore School Nurses educate students and the community on important health topics such as hand-washing, healthy diets, exercise, substance abuse, depression, and pregnancy prevention. We frequently share information at PTO meetings, through school newsletters, and on our website.

If you have a health question or are curious about a particular topic, ask a Sycamore School Nurse for information or resources to help you learn more.
