Student Health Services

Healthy students can better focus in the classroom, enjoy activities with their classmates and be ready to take on new challenges each day. 

The Ephrata School District and our school nurses are committed to advancing the well-being, academic success and lifelong achievement and health of our students. Our main priority is to keep students healthy, safe, in school and ready to learn.

School nurses provide numerous health related services for our schools, including:

  • Maintenance of district compliance with state-mandated vision, hearing and immunization documentation
  • Overseeing student health issues and development of individual health care plans
  • Distribution of health information to students, families and staff
  • Overseeing student medication administration

Your student's health is very important to us. Should your child have a medical condition and/or need medication at school, contact us and let us know.

Washington Department of Health: Safety Study Hall

Created by the Department of Health in partnership with the Office of the Superintendent of Public Instruction and other organizations, the Safety Study Hall is a place to start learning. The Safety Study Hall is a library of information and resources on several health and safety issues for schools, students and families / caregivers.

As we open the virtual Safety Study Hall doors, we start with key safety topics outlined by the Washington State Legislature HB 1230: Opioid Overdose Prevention Strategies, secure Storage of Prescription and Over-the-Counter Medication and Secure Storage of Firearms and Ammunition.
