The theme for this year’s conference is “There’s No Place Like School.” This theme celebrates the vital role school nurses play in making schools a safe, healthy, and welcoming place for every student. School is where students grow, connect, and thrive- and school nurses are at the heart of that success. Together, we’ll explore ways to strengthen our school communities, support student well-being, and remind ourselves why there truly is no place like school.
