Welcome to the 2024-2025 school year! My name is Charlene McCarron, RN, BSN, NCSN, and I am starting my 6th year as the school nurse at David R. Cawley Middle School. Go Hawks! I am eager and excited to get to know you and your children.

Please know that keeping your children healthy and safe is very important to all of us at David R. Cawley Middle School, and we are always here for you and your family, so please don’t ever hesitate to reach out to the school.
