JPS Nursing Department
The goal of the Johnston Public Schools Health Services Program is that all students are healthy and ready to learn. Health services are provided by our certified school nurse-teachers. Our primary focus is health promotion and disease prevention. School Health Services are meant to supplement, rather than replace, parental responsibility and are designed to encourage parents/guardians to take an active role in supporting their child's health so all students can function at their optimal level.
Flu Clinics
JPS will be hosting flu clinics in the fall.
Clinics are open to all students, staff/faculty, and family members ages 3+.
