WMS Nursing Team

Hello and Welcome to WMS!

We are so excited to meet each and every one of you in the Fall! At WMS, there are two full times nurses, with office coverage from 7:30 - 2:45pm. We are here to help students navigate their transition to WMS and assist them with any problem they may experience throughout the school day. 

If your student has a medical issue or concern that you would like to discuss with the WMS nurses prior to the start of the school year, please contact us via email during the summer. We begin parent/student meetings at the end of the summer and can find a time that works best for you.

During your student’s time at WMS, it is important to keep the nurses updated on any issues your student may be experiencing throughout the school year. We have included the Wellesley Public School Nursing website below, which includes important information to review. We are here to help and be a positive resource for both you and your student. Please do not hesitate to reach out to us with any questions or concerns.

Some important information to know about…

• SNAP Health Portal - We use this to communicate with parents/guardians. You can send messages, upload medical documentation, provide annual consent for Tylenol/Advil, view immunizations and much more via the portal. Please familiarize yourself with the portal and let us know if you have any questions.

• Sports Physicals - If your student would like to participate in WMS sports, MIAA requires an up to date physical within the past 13 months. Please upload the physical to the “Screenings” tab on the SNAP Health Portal.

• Medication - If your student requires medication (EpiPen, Inhaler, daily meds) in the nurse’s office during the school year - please keep an eye out for messaging from us during the summer. This will include information about medication drop of times during the week school starts. Please make sure to provide up to date doctor’s orders, parental/guardian consent, and pharmacy labeled medication. 

  • At WMS we can provide Tylenol/Advil once during the school day with parent/guardian consent on file. Consent needs to be renewed annually.

• Illness - If your student reaches out to you about feeling ill during the school day, please notify them to come to the nurse’s office. We will complete an assessment and contact you as needed.
