The nurses at Concord Road School serve as health counselors for students, parents and staff as well as the liaisons with outside health care providers whose treatment of students is relevant to the students' school progress. The nurses perform all New York State mandated health screenings, dispense medications to students according to physician orders, and provide emergency and routine medical care to students and staff. In addition, the nurses monitor the certification of medical immunizations and keep on record completed physical examination forms for all new students and students entering grades 1 and 3.
Parents are encouraged to share with the school nurses any health issues, prescribed medications or emotional issues that may affect their child's performance in school.
