News from the Nurse
My name is Rachel Cruz and I am the school nurse at Matunuck School. The health and well being of your child is very important to me. I will be conducting vision, hearing and dental screenings throughout the year. I will be notifying you in advance of screening dates. Health updates will be sent with the Friday Folder or in an email Skylert message.
