Nurse’s Page
Welcome to the School Nurse’s Page!
As a school nurse within the Archdiocese for over ten years, I appreciate the opportunity to collaborate with parents to keep their children safe, happy, and healthy at school.
While I work full-time as a nurse practitioner specializing in oncologic care, my passion for pediatrics is evident while working with the student population at SPC on Fridays throughout the school year.
I hope this page serves as a helpful resource and communication platform for SPC parents.
Please never hesitate to contact me directly by email @[email protected].
Go Tigers,
Nurse Kari
