Maggie Corcoran, District Nurse Practitioner: 716-871-3072

Our school nurses are licensed Registered Professional Nurses(RNs), and we employ Licensed Practical Nurses (LPNs) that assist the RNs. RNs & LPNs are overseen by New York State under the auspices of the University of the State of New York Education Department Office of Professions. All nurses must maintain current CPR and AED certification at the Health Care Provider level and must obtain Infection Control Certification every 3 years. School nurses also complete Concussion Education Certification every two years through the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) program. School Nurse Continuing Education is obtained through the New York State Center for School Health (NYSCSH) as well as through Community Health providers & programs.

Our nurses cover the health offices in our 10 district buildings, the Pre-K program at Hamilton Elementary, as well as seven non-public schools that are in the district. Our nursing staff performs many different services, such as: provide first aid, medication administration, monitor acute and chronic illnesses, evaluate and assess health needs, as well as provide technical nursing skills related to healthcare. They are also trained to provide screening for vision, hearing, & scoliosis per NYS Guidelines at required grade levels, as well as evaluate student immunization records and status, and submit annual reports to New York State Department of Health. Our nurses must also document every student seen in the health office for health problems.

Parents & Guardians: If there are forms that you need that are not on this webpage, or questions that you have regarding a specific health need, please contact the school nurse at the building that your child attends.
