Ms. Rinard monitors chronic health conditions, develops and implements student care plans, advises school teams on health issues, provides health teaching, makes home visits, and assists with the management of disabled students in the school.
As a member of the regular school team, Ms. Rinard works in conjunction with Administrators, Guidance Counselors, Special Educators, School Psychologist, and a Pupil Personnel Worker to develop special procedures for students, assist with immunization compliance, control communicable disease and improve attendance.
