Dear Essex Fells Families,
Welcome to the 2026-2027 School Year! My name is Rachel Wychules and I am honored for the opportunity to care for your children as their School Nurse and PK - 2nd Grade Health Teacher! I received my first Bachelor’s of Science in Psychology from University of Colorado - Boulder and then in Nursing at Regis University in Denver, CO. After many years of working as a Cardiovascular ICU Nurse, I shifted gears and recieved my Instructional School Nursing Certification from Caldwell College. I have since worked as a Public Health Nurse and a School Nurse in both the public and private sector. In addition to caring for the children, I look forward to meeting our youngest learners in the classroom where we willl dive in to healthy habits and how to care for our bodies.
As we start the school year, we will be focused on health and safety. I ask for your partnership to create the healthiest environment for our students and staff. We can all do our part by adhering to the EFS HONOR CODE of keeping your child home if your child is ill.
The American Academy of Pediatrics' recommends that families resume well-visits for their children and adhere to the NJ-DOE/DOH immunization requirements for school children. Encouraging well check-ups and up to date immunizations will facilitate a healthy school community!
In addition to providing nursing care and teaching, I will conduct health screenings on each student. The health screenings include: height, weight, vision, hearing, blood pressure and scoliosis evaluations. Should I find results that require your physician's follow-up, I will notify you.
We want each child performing to their best academic ability. Together we will partner to maintain a healthy community at Essex Fells School!
Please do not hesitate to contact me with any health, wellness, safety or any other questions or concerns you may have.
Kind Regards,
Rachel Wychules RN, BSN, CSN
