Health Services

Our School District Health Program is designed to promote the health of each child.  Our ultimate goal is to support an environment that provides for optimal wellness of every student. We recognize that a child can more fully achieve their maximum educational potential if they are healthy.

Although the primary responsibility for the health and well being of the student resides with the parent, the Seaford School District nursing staff shares that responsibility by providing for the health and emergency needs of the student during the school day. Each school in Seaford is staffed by a full-time registered nurse.  Also employed is a part-time RN who assists each building as needed.  Our nurses are certified in basic life support (CPR and AED) as well as educated on a continuing basis to face the challenges presented to us in the health field.
