Health Services
The Skykomish School District has a long-standing commitment to student health and wellness. Our school has a registered nurse available to provide a wide range of services. At the beginning of each year, we collect student health information to plan for needs during the school day.
The State of Washington schedules students for routine vision and hearing screening. Please notify the nurse if you wish to excuse your child from the screening.
