My name is Sarah La Croix and I am the school nurse at York High School! My goal is to keep the student population as healthy as possible through communication, education and health awareness. Please don't hesitate to contact me with any health concerns or changes.

There are three types of conjunctivitis: Viral, bacterial and allergic. Both viral and bacterial are extremely contagious. Students must seek treatment from a physician if they are displaying signs and symptoms of conjunctivitis. If bacterial, students may return to school after medical treatment (usually eye drops) for 24 hours. If viral, symptoms need to be resolved prior to returning to school. Please let the school nurse know the diagnosis.
