Welcome to School Health Services.  My name is Melissa Jeffries and I am the school nurse for the Henry County District, which includes all five Henry County schools.  I have been a nurse for over 20 years with the majority of my background in pediatrics.  This is my 9th year with the Henry County School District and I am thrilled to be a part of such a wonderful organization and community.

My schedule is based solely on the needs of the student’s in our district and will be subject to change due to meetings, emergencies, or other obligations. I am always available to discuss your child’s medical needs or issues so please do not hesitate to contact me.  I can be reached by email or by calling the Board of Education.

Jill Morgan joins us this year with 16 years experience as a medical assistant.  She will primarily be working with specific students in two schools and her schedule varies dependent on specific needs.  Jill is a resident of Henry County and her children attend Henry County Schools.  She is looking forward to this change in her career and excited to be working in the community and schools she loves.

We are both looking forward to a safe, healthy school year!
