City School District of New Rochelle

Welcome to the CSDNR Health Services Department.

The Health Services Department consists of a team of experienced nurses, support staff and a District-wide Medical Director. There are health offices in each of our school buildings that provide first aid and emergency care to students and staff. Our nurses are also an integral part of your child’s health care team when medications or health conditions need management during the school day. We work collaboratively with all disciplines in the school system, to ensure that your child is in good health and is able to participate safely in all available programs.
