School Nurse
Meet the School Nurse
Hello, my name is Scott Skoglund. I am your school nurse. Parents and staff call me “Scott” and students call me “Nurse Scott”. I am here to support you and the physical, mental, and nutritional health of your children in a safe environment so they can be at their best to have fun and learn. By working with parents and guardians who know and love their children more than anyone else, I am best prepared to support their children when they are at school. These are challenging times so please know I want to be a resource for your family. Please email, call, or text if you have a question, want to double check something, or are looking for help to find access to health care, immunizations, mental health supports, food, or emergency housing.
Free Health Services
Students can access additional health services beyond what is available at Orca K-8 School through enrolling in one of the 16 different school-based health centers located throughout Seattle in some of our Seattle Public Schools.
Services are available to all Seattle Public School students, regardless of their ability to pay. If you have insurance, it may be billed.
Some of the services provided include flu vaccination, other immunizations, sports physicals, prescriptions, reproductive healthcare, mental health counseling, lab tests, and nutrition counseling.
Call one of the health centers convenient for your family, confirm the services you want, enroll your child, and set up the appointment.
