Greenbrier Schools employs four full-time nurses that handle student health care needs while they are at school.  Healthy children are successful learners.  The school nurse has a multi-faceted role within the school setting, one that supports the physical, mental, emotional, social health of the students and their success in the learning process.  These are some of the responsibilities of the school nurse:

• Screening for vision, hearing, scoliosis and BMI
  
• Providing direct health care to students and staff
  
• Referring students in need to appropriate medical professionals
  
• Monitoring students with a special health care need and maintaining a Health Care Plan for the student
