Ms. Ali Wasko

Hello! 

My name is Ali Wasko and I am the new school nurse at Summit St. School!

A little about myself ... I grew up in Vermont and graduated from UVM. I have been a nurse for a total of 10 years. I have worked in many different settings, from being a bedside nurse at UVM Medical Center to a nurse manager at an outpatient mental health facility. This is my fourth year as a school nurse and I absolutely love working in a school!

I have two children, one who is in elementary school and the other who just entered her last year of preschool. I am so excited to get to know everyone in this community!

If you have any questions/concerns please feel free to reach out!

    • If your student receives a negative COVID test, but still has a cough, runny nose, or other symptoms, your student should stay home until the symptoms are resolved or markedly improved. If you are uncertain, call me! I can help you decide if your student should return to school.
