Kalispell Public Schools' Nursing Department
Our district has four nurses on staff. Among other functions, their responsibilities include:
- Managing medical emergencies
- Caring for students with minor injuries or illnesses
- Conducting vision and hearing screenings
- Administering medications
- Case Management, including Individualized Healthcare Plans for students with significant health problems (i.e. diabetes, seizures, asthma, severe allergies, etc)
- Measuring and documenting State mandated services
Please help the school nurse care for your child by:
- Informing the front office if your child has any chronic or acute illnesses
- Communicating with the nurse directly if medication or health needs change or if they have been exposed to a communicable disease such as a strep infection or chicken pox
- Update the front office when contact information changes so we can always reach you
