Health Services
Creating and sustaining a school environment that promotes and supports student achievement, health, and well-being.
In White Bear Lake Area Schools, we know that healthy students are better learners. Our Health Service teams are made up of Licensed School Nurses and Health Assistants who work collaboratively with families, school staff, healthcare providers, and community partners to remove health-related barriers to learning and promote health and wellness for our students.
Licensed School Nurses (LSNs) are licensed by the Minnesota Department of Education and the Minnesota Board of Nursing. A bachelor's degree in Nursing with Registered Nurse licensure and Public Health Nursing Certification is required to obtain a school nurse license. LSNs provide services for students with any physical, mental or emotional health concerns that may impact school attendance, participation in school activities and learning. These may include:-
Severe Life-Threatening Allergy
-
ADHD
-
Anxiety
-
Concussion/Head Injury

Depression

Diabetes

Medication (changes and/or concerns)

Mononucleosis
