The Mesquite ISD provides registered school nurses at each campus. School nursing is a registered nursing specialty that involves identification, assessment, prevention and intervention to remedy or modify students' health needs. The nurse's goal is to promote the optimum health of students and the students' abilities to achieve their educational goals.

Each nurse monitors required immunizations, mandated health screenings and maintains communications with parents as needed.

The Martin Luther King, Jr. Family Clinic is holding a free dental clinic for children in need on February 2-3.  Please go to the link below to find out how to arrange for an appointment.
