You are always welcome to see your school nurse whenever you have questions related to health and wellbeing.

• In Lunna, you can send your own school nurse a non-urgent message or a background information questionnaire before a health check. We will get back to you within three weekdays.
• In school healthcare, children in grades 1, 5 and 8 are invited to extensive health checks, for which you need to fill in an electronic background information questionnaire beforehand. The school nurse sends you through Wilma a separate message with a schedule and instructions for the health checks, but you can also book an appointment according to your needs whenever you wish to.
• In other grades, there will also be electronic questionnaires on your child’s wellbeing, sent to you with instructions in a Wilma message. Your answers help us adapt the health check according to your child’s needs and estimate when a health check should be conducted.
• Contact details and walk-in hours can be found on the school’s website and on notice boards.
• Book an appointment with your school nurse by phone or through Lunna at https://lunna.suomisote.fi/.
