Student Health

Isle of Wight County Schools recognizes the importance of the health and welfare of all students.  The student health program was established to address the health and safety concerns that may arise during school hours.
 
The program is staffed by a Nursing Supervisor, nine licensed, full-time nurses in each school and six clinic assistants.
 
The school nurse is responsible for providing care and serving as a medical resource and health consultant for students, parents, and staff. The nurse reviews admission information, implements specialized health care plans, provides first aid, manages medications, counsels students regarding health issues, provides up-to-date training to faculty, performs annual screenings, teaches health related topics, and serves as a vital link between parents and health care providers.
