A Community Committed to Healthy Development

Barrie School employs a full-time registered nurse who is responsible for monitoring the health and wellness of students enrolled during the school year and campers at Barrie Camp during the summer.

She is also available to assist staff with medical emergencies and provides first aid, maintains student health records, administers medications on campus, monitors allergies and illnesses, conducts health screenings, and consults and promotes health and wellness with students and faculty.

The Health Office does not function as a primary care facility or urgent care. By law, school nurses are not able to make medical diagnoses or prescribe treatments but may assess, and serve as a resource for referrals to off-campus professionals as needed. Barrie's nurse works closely with the student support services team to best meet student health needs.

When accidents, injuries or illnesses occur during school hours, basic first aid and/or emergency care will be given according to the Maryland Board of Nursing standards and practices.
