Middle School Nurse’s Office:
Welcome to the Hardyston Middle School health office
The health office provides many services such as annual physicals, scoliosis, hearing/vision testing, height, weight and blood pressure screening and is a place where health teaching happens every day.
The health office will keep you informed of any health issues and concerns in the community. Please refer to Health Office Guidelines on this site and in the Hardyston School District Handbook and Calendar.
It is my hope that we have many wonderfully successful and healthy school days at Hardyston Middle School. Please feel free to come by and just say “hi”.
