Movement Schools is a rapidly growing network of public charter schools. We exist to love and value students by leading a movement of change in education through academic excellence, character development, and preparation for success in life. We believe in the inherent value and dignity of every child, and build schools where students and staff thrive.
Each Movement School is part of a larger community investment to help children and families thrive. These broader investments include early-childhood education, wellness centers, and after-school care.
The school nurse is primarily responsible for providing students with quality health services and connecting families with community resources. Our school nurse will also assist with administrative duties as her patient schedule allows.
