New Milford High School Nurses Office
(201)262-0172
Extension 2002
The goal of school health services is to strengthen and facilitate the educational process by improving and protecting the health status of children and staff. The health and intellectual development of children are inextricably related. State mandates require services to prevent the spread of infectious disease, to detect developmental problems, and to assist students who become ill or injured. In New Jersey, laws concerning school health services were first enacted in 1903. In the modern school, health services contribute significantly to the total school climate and enhance the day-to-day functioning of students and staff.

Please notify the nurse if your child will be sick for any length of time. Student immunization records and emergency cards should be up-dated periodically.
