Nursing/Health Services

The School nursing staff in the Wasco Union High School District includes one full-time California Credentialed School Nurse for the District and a health clerk at Independence High School.

As the district's only credentialed, licensed, qualified health professional, I support and advocate for student well-being, safety, and equal access to academic success.

School nursing is a highly specialized field within the nursing profession that focuses on enhancing students' overall well-being and educational achievements. School nurses are crucial in bridging the gap between school staff, families, the local community, and healthcare professionals. Their primary objective is to champion students' health and cultivate a nurturing and health-conscious school environment.

School Nurse Contact

We strongly encourage parents to reach out to the district nurse if their child has a health condition that affects them at school. Your child's well-being is our top priority, and we are here to support you.
