Hello!
Hello!
I'm so glad you're here, and I am honored to be your school nurse!
AGWSR is committed to providing a safe, inclusive environment for your student(s) to learn and become the best they can be!
The health office's role in the education process may seem minor. However, the health of the students plays a huge role in their ability to participate in the classroom and build good habits and knowledge for their future.
The health office holds high standards set by the Iowa Dept. of Education, and Code of Ethics for nurses.
If you have questions or would like me to know more about your student you may email me at kkreimeyer@agwsr.org.
