Even before COVID-19, being a school nurse was a challenging role. Our RRGSD nurses have been on the front lines of our COVID response ensuring the health and safety of our students and staff on our campuses and virtually. We could not do the important work we do as a District without our amazing school nurses. Join us today in thanking our nurses! #COVIDSchoolYear #KidsAreOurCustomers
