Pennsbury School Health Newsletter
May 2020
Dear Parents & Guardians,
During these unprecedented times we recognize that school nurses play an integral role in the health of our students, both in and out of the school setting.
We are thinking about our Pennsbury community and hope everyone is staying safe and healthy. We are here to support you, even if it is from a distance. In this newsletter we have included a few topics of interest for both parents and students. We are in this together!
Should you need to reach out to the Certified School Nurse at your child's school, please see the directory at the end of this newsletter.
What does a Certified School Nurse do?
- Advance well-being, academic success, & life-long achievement & health of students
- Dynamic profession rooted in public health
- Lead school health
- Use critical thinking
- Focus on the school community
- Practice ethically
