Care During the School Day
The Student Health Office provides first aid and support for students who become ill or injured during the school day, as well as ongoing support for chronic and acute medical needs.
Families should notify the school nurse of any health condition, diagnosis, allergy, or medication that could affect a student's social, academic, or physical activities at school.
If Your Student Becomes Sick at School
Students who become ill during the school day should report to the nurse. The nurse will assess the student and determine the appropriate course of care.
Parent or guardian permission and the nurse's assessment are required before a student may drive herself home.
Care & Connection
School Counseling
Guided by the Mission of Mount Saint Joseph Academy, the School Counseling Program supports students emotionally, socially, spiritually, and academically.
Known, Supported & Connected
School counselors work to build strong relationships with students and create a supportive environment where each student can develop confidence, resilience, empathy, perseverance, and a sense of belonging.
Counselors also partner with families seeking outside services and resources and, when appropriate, collaborate with the Mount's Learning Team to support students' academic needs.
