Words of Welcome 2025-2026
Welcome back!
As we return back to our offices and begin another school year, it’s refreshing to feel a renewed sense of normalcy. There’s something energizing about stepping back into familiar routines, reconnecting with our students and staff, and reestablishing our presence in the school community.
Whether it's your first year or 20th, each year brings us a fresh start. An opportunity to reflect, reset, and explore new ways to support the health and well-being of our students. Whether it’s implementing new health initiatives, streamlining practices, or simply bringing forward fresh ideas, this is the perfect time to try something new.
Thank you for your passion and the professionalism you bring to your role every day. Our work as school nurses is more important than ever, and I’m confident that, together, we’ll make this year a meaningful one — for ourselves, for each other, and for the students and families we serve.
Here’s to a healthy, inspiring, and successful year ahead!

BCSNA 2025-2026 Calendar of Events
The Bergen County School Nurses Association offers educational opportunities on current issues in school nursing. Professional development hours are available for each of these events. The BCSNA typically hosts two fall and two spring meeting events each year. At the present time, we plan on offering a hybrid of events with our first meeting in October being an in-person meeting and our November meeting taking place on line. Followed by two meetings in the Spring in March and May both in person. Please click on the "Events" tab to register for our upcoming meeting(s).
