Dear Contra Costa County Community,
As we celebrate School Nurse Day, I am honored to shine a spotlight on the invaluable contributions of our dedicated healthcare professionals who serve as lifelines for our students' well-being. Today, we extend our deepest gratitude to our school nurses for ensuring the health and safety of our school communities.
Here in Contra Costa County, our school nurses are not just healthcare providers; they are compassionate advocates, trusted confidants, and pillars of support for our exceptional students. In our Contra Costa County Office of Education schools and programs, our school nurses play a vital role in addressing the unique healthcare needs of students in our special education settings.
Whether it's administering medication, managing chronic conditions, or providing specialized care, our school nurses go above and beyond to ensure that every student receives the personalized attention and support they require to thrive academically and personally. Their dedication and expertise make a profound difference in the lives of our exceptional students and their families.
To our school nurses, thank you for your selflessness, your compassion, and your commitment to excellence. You are true healthcare heroes, and we are immensely grateful for everything you do to support our students and our community.
With heartfelt gratitude,
Lynn Mackey
Contra Costa County Superintendent of Schools
