Nursing News
Please see the immunization requirements for the 2024-2025 school year and schedule your child for their annual physical and vaccines over the summer. If your child has a medical condition or special medical needs, please reach out to your child’s school nurse before the school year begins.

Wellness Supports
For overall student success we believe it is necessary to address the whole child. Our team of Mental Wellness Specialists, School Counselors and our Family Support Specialist are available to support the needs of all students.
Our School Counselors collaborate closely with Mental Wellness Specialists who provide students with individual support and group instruction to develop healthy ways to cope with stressors. We promote student, staff and community wellness through resources, program development and partnerships.
Our team also works closely with our Family Support Specialist, who partners with students and their families to assist in identifying and reducing or removing barriers to school attendance through connections with community and government resources.
In addition to our internal team, SLSD has partnered with Mindpeace and Best Point Behavioral Health to strengthen our mental health supports by providing access to therapeutic services for students and families.
