School Health Services
Mission of the Newton School Nurses
To provide exceptional care for students' physical and emotional well-being so they are healthy, safe, and ready to learn.
Welcome to School Health Services
Newton School Health Services are provided by school nurses who work for the Health and Human Services Department. Care is delivered in a comprehensive way recognizing that students' health and well-being have a direct impact on school performance and educational achievement. Each of Newton's schools has a dedicated professional school nurse who administers mandated services and assumes an expanded role. Mandated services include immunization surveillance, medication administration and population-based screening programs. The expanded role includes care for illness and injury, wellness, teaching/training, student advocacy and school-based team collaboration.
