Parents are responsible for the health and well being of their children. It is not the

intent of the school to relieve the parents of their responsibilities. School health

services supplement, rather than substitute for, parental care and concern for the

health of the student.

The job of School Nurse was created for the purpose/s of strengthening and

facilitating the educational process by modifying or removing health-related barriers

to learning in individual Natrona County School District (NCSD) students and by

promoting an optimal level of wellness for students in three main areas: health

services, health education, and healthful school environment.

The School Nurse assumes responsibility for appropriate assessment, planning,

intervention, evaluation management, and referral activities. The School Nurse

serves as the direct link between physicians, families, and community agencies to

assure access and continuity of health care for students concerning health-related

issues. The School Nurse may also provide nursing assessments for staff as a

professional courtesy. The School Nurse upholds and adheres to professional

standards and performs all duties in compliance with the Wyoming Nurse Practice

Act, the National School Nurses Association Standards of School Nursing

Practice, applicable public laws (i.e. IDEA, 504, HIPAA/FERPA, etc.), and

Natrona County School District policies and regulations.
