Health Office

Mission Statement

The goal of the Holliston Public School Health Services Department is to promote an optimum level of wellness and remove health related barriers in order to enhance the education process. We believe that health and education are interrelated and that a healthy student is the best learner.


The Holliston Public Schools Health Office is committed to providing basic health services, health promotion and prevention of disease, health maintenance and a safe and caring environment for all students.

State mandated health screenings have started in the Health Offices.  A referral letter is sent home when the student does not meet the screening parameters set by the state.

If a referral letter (or a different type of letter sent by your student's school nurse) is sent via email, the parent/guardian will receive two emails. The first email will contain the password that is required to open the attachment, and any future Health Office emails you may receive. The second email will be with the password protected referral letter as an attachment. The “from” email address will be your student’s school nurse.

IMPORTANT:  Medication Pick-Up

The end of the year is quickly approaching.  If you have medication stored in the Health Office for your student, please make sure to pick-up the medication by  Monday, June 23rd BY NOON (if possible and safe to do so, please consider picking up all medication prior to this date).  Medications that are not picked up by this date will be disposed of properly per Massachusetts regulations.

If your student will be participating in Extended Summer Year (ESY) and has medication in the Health Office, you do not need to pick up the medication between the end of the academic year and the start of ESY - please make sure to communicate your student’s enrollment in ESY with your student’s school nurse.  Please make sure to pick up your student’s medication at the conclusion of the ESY program.  Any medication that is not picked up by the end of ESY will be disposed of properly per Massachusetts regulations.

Please contact your student’s school nurses if you have any questions.

School nursing, a specialized practice of public health nursing, protects and promotes student health, facilitates normal development, and advances academic success. School nurses, grounded in ethical and evidence-based practice, are the leaders that bridge health care and education, provide care coordination, advocate for quality student-centered care, and collaborate to design systems that allow individuals and communities to develop their full potentials.
