List of 4 items.

• FLIK Dining Services

  FLIK Independent School Dining provide another source of nutrition education. The daily choices offered at lunch can be viewed by parents and students in the myBERWICK site. 

• School Nurse

  The school nurse provides ongoing supportive physical and emotional care to students during their school day. She works collaboratively with students, families and faculty to enhance the educational process by identifying and addressing health barriers to learning. The school nurse assists in monitoring chronic medical problems as well as identifying and providing support during short term illnesses. She serves as a medical resource for students, parents, faculty and staff, and supports the development of self care strategies in students.

• Athletic Training

  The athletic trainer is the link between the athlete, the parent, the coach and the medical community. The athletic training facility is situated between the gym and the field house. Various modalities, such as an ultrasound machine, a whirlpool, a hydrocollator, and an ice machine are used in the treatment of athletic injuries. At Berwick, we value the importance of concussion management and IMPACT testing (computerized concussion evaluation system) for all of our athletes. The athletic trainer and the school nurse, in conjunction with teachers, advisors, and coaches, maintain a robust program and protocol for students who experience concussions.

• Faculty Interest in Student Health

  FISH (Faculty Interest in Student Health) is designed to provide non-disciplinary support to all members of the school community. Referral, support, and guidance will be given to any individual who seeks help or is referred to a faculty member with a wellness concern (i.e. substance abuse, eating disorders, social media, promiscuity, self-harm, etc). Parents/Guardians or students with questions should reach out to their School Counselor.
