health and Wellness Services

Ridgefield Public Schools is committed to supporting the health, safety, and well-being of every student. Our Health and Wellness Services team - which includes certified school nurses and other trained staff - provides essential care during the school day and works closely with families to promote healthy habits and manage individual health needs. Services include daily health support, emergency care, medication administration, illness prevention, health screenings (such as vision, hearing, and scoliosis), and guidance on state immunization requirements.

Our staff also partners with parents and community providers to support students with chronic health conditions, manage food allergies, respond to injuries, and develop health care plans when needed. We prioritize confidentiality, compassion, and clear communication in all aspects of our work.
