Hello! I am Kristin Frederik, the school nurse, here at North Coffee Elementary. I am a native of Coffee County, and I currently still reside here with my husband and children. I have been with Coffee County Schools since 2016 in the role of a school nurse. Prior to school nursing, I worked in surgical care on neurology, urology, and orthopedic floors. My education includes a Bachelor of Science in Organizational Leadership from Middle Tennessee State University, an Associate of Science in Nursing from Troy University, a Bachelor of Science in Nursing from Chamberlain University, and a Master of Science in Nursing with a focus on Population Health from Chamberlain University.
In the Clinic, it is my goal to partner with you and the North Coffee Elementary staff to keep students safe, healthy, and eager to learn. I truly believe that communication is key, so please do not hesitate to contact me. Please feel free to contact me with any concerns you may have at 931-723-5183 or use the direct Clinic phone line 931-570-2672, or you can email me at frederikk@k12coffee.net.

- If your child is excluded from gym for a medical reason, a doctor’s note will be required before your child may resume activities.
- A doctor’s note is required if it is necessary for your child to ambulate with the assistance of any mobility device.
