Nurse Robin and Nurse Jen work with students, families and ZED staff to ensure that student health needs are being addressed while at school. If your student has any health concerns that will require care at school, please contact one of our nurses to develop a health plan, arrange for any medication needs, or plan for emergency care for any underlying health conditions. 

Why School Health Matters:

United States Surgeon General, Dr. Jocelyn Elders said it best, "...we can't educate children who are not healthy and we cannot keep them healthy if they are not educated. There has to be a marriage between health and education."

The Minnesota Department of Health states that school health services are incredibly valuable tools to marry health and education to build healthy, successful futures for Minnesota's kids and families. When schools have a school nurse, it is a safety net to assess, plan and coordinate for student care. When students' physical and mental health needs are met, they are able to be mentally and physically present to learn. Research consistently supports that academic measures are improved when health needs are met.
