APW CSD School Nurse
The school nurses are the first line of primary care for our students and are responsible for every child in the APW Central School District. Each nurse contributes their own strengths to APW’s Health Services program. Their collaboration provides a continuity of care from the home to the classroom in order to keep children in school.

- Triages and treats accidents and illnesses for the entire school population
- Administers medication and manages chronic illnesses
- Is responsible for the day-to-day management of the entire school population’s health; they are salaried through the education system
- Enhances students’ health, academic outcomes, and overall well-being

The SBHC:

Your school nurse will refer clinic-enrolled students to the SBHC based on their assessment of a student's complaint or for a scheduled physical exam.
