The school health office is open every school day between 9:00am and 
3:30pm.  I may be teaching if you call and are unable to reach me.  Please 
leave a message and I will return your call as soon as possible.  If it is 
an emergency, please call the school's main office at (732)613-6820 and they

It is an honor and privilege to serve the Central School community in the 
capacity as a school nurse.  Some of my responsiblities include health 
services such as vision and hearing screening, first aid, and medical 
procedures that are required during school.  I also teach certain aspects of
the health curriculum pertaining to Family Life.  I serve as a resource for 
pertinent medical and health information to teachers in regard to their
students and their own safety.   

Maintaining a healthy, safe and conducive learning environment 
is always a goal of utmost importance.  I will be happy to answer and listen 
to any of your questions or concerns regarding your child's health and well 
being.

Goals of the School Health Services Program

My mission as a school nurse is to identify, prevent, remove, minimize or
manage challenges or barriers to educating our students. In addition to
nursing interventions, my plans of care will include promoting the education,
health and well-being of our students. I will use my nursing knowledge to
empower them to attain their best level of all three. I will do this through
my example; by teaching them skills; by emphasizing those things that are
positive for body, mind and spirit; by supporting those others who care about
children; and by making every effort to foster self-responsibility. 

I will use my gifts as a communicator to share my knowledge and skills,
putting these in the hands of the children, parents, educators and any others
who come within my circle of influence as a school nurse.
