Welcome!
In an effort to inform the residents of Cashmere School District of events dealing with the care and well-being of our students and provide health-related articles, we have set up this web site.

*** Physical and mental health play important roles in academic achievement.***

Some of the areas we address as school nurse and health clerk include:
direct student care, contact with parents and physicians, documentation, medications, maintaining nursing files, immunizations, staff meetings/in-service training, mandatory vision/hearing/scoliosis screenings, home visits,referring students to counselors/Medicaid. We address the psychosocial issues and help teachers by preparing or assisting their students to have a better learning experience.

CASHMERE SCHOOL DISTRICT'S MEDICAL LIBRARY:
We are building a lending library of anatomy parts, audio-visual teaching aides, and other tools used to enhance lectures.
