Nurse’s Corner

The mission of Murray CSD nursing services is to strive to provide compassionate and comprehensive health services for all children within the school district.

The school nurse works to help ensure student health needs are addressed as they relate to learning, education, and social-emotional health/wellness by promoting a positive and caring environment within the school. Students are referred to the nurse when they are injured, show signs of an illness, or express the need for health care.

If you should have any questions or concerns, please contact the school nurse. 


Immunization information

According to Iowa Administrative Code, children attending school in Iowa must have a current and valid immunization record. Immunizations must include doses of the following immunizations: DTap/TDap, Polio, Measles, Mumps, Rubella (MMR), Hepatitis B, and Varicella. In the State of Iowa, a current and valid immunization record or Certificate of Exemption (Religious or Medical) must be on file before the first day of school. Murray will enforce the measure that a student may be excluded from school until they are in compliance with this section of the Iowa Administrative Code. If any questions, please reach out to the school nurse or your child’s school administrator.
