Andover Elementary School Health Services
The school health services are provided by a full-time school nurse employed by the Board of Education. Using clinical knowledge and judgment, the school nurse provides heath care to students and staff, performs health screening and coordinates referrals to other school resources, healthcare providers, emergency services when needed or other community resources. The school nurse serves as a liaison between school personnel, family, community and healthcare providers to advocate for health, safety and academic success in the school environment.
