Health Services
Healthy, Safe, Ready to Learn
Welcome to the Health Services Department, where caring for students is our number one priority. Health services in the Thompson School District are aligned with the CDC’s Whole School, Whole Community, Whole Child (WSCC) model to provide evidence-based, clinically competent, quality care. Our nurses recognize that each student has unique health and safety needs that require an integrated, collaborative approach to address barriers and supports related to learning and health.

Our Staffing Model
