TCAPS Nursing
The Traverse City Area Public Schools Nursing Department welcomes you.
The goal of the Nursing Department is to promote and protect the health of the students in our community by providing health services, health education and a healthy environment.
We believe that the health of a child directly impacts his or her ability to fully access educational opportunities that will allow them to reach their fullest capacity.
Healthy children are more successful learners
We believe that parents have the basic responsibility for the health of their children. The Nursing Department is available to assist parents with this responsibility. Please do not hesitate to use our department as a health resource for your family.
