Health Services
The NREVSD District Nurse and health aides are committed to meeting the daily healthcare needs of our students, as well as being a resource to parents and staff. We are dedicated to promoting health and safety for all students in our district. Additionally, we strive to be advocates for every student’s physical health and wellness, as well as mental, social, and emotional well-being.
