It’s National School Nurses Day, so let’s show our appreciation for those caring individuals in our schools who do so much more than apply band-aids, stop bloody noses, and hand out ice packs! School nurses are critical to all aspects of students’ health, and help to ensure our students’ academic success. They also play a key role in improving public health. In other words, our school nurses are superheroes!

Reminder: A solar eclipse will be visible in the afternoon on Monday, April 8.

The District will be distributing specialized eye protection for all students to take home with them on April 8 so that under adult supervision, they can safely view the eclipse.
