School Health Services & Your Child
The goal of the School Nurse Department of the Brownsville Area School District is to provide the resources to promote the greatest health care services for each student in our care. Those services include:
• Collaboration with parents, school staff and community health agencies.
• Health assessments and screenings
• Implementation of state health and immunization laws.
If your child has a medical condition that the nurse should be made aware of please call your child’s school and speak to the nurse directly.
The school nurses are available to answer questions and address parents concerns.
