Health Services in the West Bridgewater Public Schools is something we are very proud of. Thanks to funding from the Department of Public Health, we have been able to greatly enhance our existing resources over the past few years. Besides the additional nursing positions that have been added to ensure coverage at each school, we have also been able to update our technology, health room supplies and furniture, screening machines and educational materials. In addition, we have been able to offer a number of educational programs for students, staff and parents.
Our nursing staff is extremely committed to assisting students and families in achieving optimal health in both the school and home setting. We work closely with teachers and other staff members to ensure a healthy educational environment for the students. Our nurses are very approachable and are great resources for both information and health related needs. We invite parents to call with any questions or concerns they may have.
