Bridging Healthcare and Education

School nurses serve a pivotal role that bridges health care and education so students are safe, healthy, and ready to learn.  

SCCSD school nurses bridge health care and education by: 

• Assessing and evaluating the health needs of students and school staff 
• Providing health education and counseling 
• Developing individual and emergency health care plans 
• Providing staff training for health services 
• Following direct specialized health care procedures 
• Providing first aid 
• Implementing and monitoring student compliance with state immunization requirements  
• Providing vision screenings 
• Serving as a community resource liaison  
• Processing medical billing 
• Providing school staff support  

School nurses are a specialty branch of professional nursing. Sioux City Community School nursing services are delivered by eight Professional Registered Nurses licensed by the Iowa Board of Nursing.
