School Information

Following your child's diagnosis with diabetes, you will need to contact your child's School Based Public Health Nurse.  The nurse will arrange for your child's care in the school setting which includes reviewing the diabetes care plan, ensuring the training of appropriate school staff, and discussing your child's diabetes supply needs for school. 

If your child attends Wake County public schools, please call (919) 250-4631 and ask who the nurse is for your child's school.  You will be given the nurse's voice mail number.  Leave a message for the nurse to discuss your child's diabetes care at school.

If your child attends a school outside of Wake County, constact your child's school to get the contact name and phone number for the nurse for your school.

In an effort to help your child manage his or her carbohydrate intake while at school, you amy find it helpful to review the following link to the Wake County Public Schools website:

http://www.wcpss.net/child-nutrition/special_diets.html.  The site provides information about carbohydrate counts for each of the items on the Wake County Public Schools child nutrition menu.

If you need additional help with school support issues, please call (919)350-7584.
