Sanger Unified School Health Offices are staffed as follows: Sanger High has a full time Registered School Nurse, a full time LVN, and a part time Health Aide. Washington Academic Middle School has a full time Registered School Nurse and a full time LVN. Elementary, K-8 and Charter sites are staffed part-time by Registered School Nurses, LVN's and/or Health Aides. A Registered Nurse is on call (accessible by cell phone) during all times students are on campus.
