Full-Time Nurse

Doraemon International School has a full-time nurse on staff. The nursing office manages the daily health needs of all students and staff, including chronic and emergency care. Our open-door health policy provides both parents and children with the security that their health needs will be met during the school day. The nurse is present at all home sporting events and coordinates all state-mandated screenings.
