Discovery Health Room

Welcome to the Health Room website! If you have any questions please call or stop by during office hours. Your school nurse is Danielle Cullen and health room specialist is Maya Quinn. We are a resource for your student(s) and family support in health care needs ranging from acute injuries, sicknesses, and any health condition that can affect your student during the school day. If you student requires any medication at school, prescribed or OTC, please call the health room.

When to Alert the Health Room

Please call, email or fax the Nurse (425) 837-4034 when your student has been hospitalized, seen in an Emergency Department or been diagnosed with an illness. This will help in returning safely to school and modifying any activities at school that may be a barrier to healing. The nurse can help in developing a baseline to gauge worsening/improvement through the school day.
