May Health Reminders:

  • New students, kindergartners, second and sixth graders will need a dental exam by May 15th as required by the State of Illinois. Please make sure these are turned in ASAP. If you have an appointment schedule, proof of appointment will also complete the requirement for the exam.
  • If your child is on/has any medication at school, they must be picked up by the end of the school year. The last day of school is May 22. They can be picked up (8am to 2pm) each day, or it will be disposed of. Absolutely no medication will be stored over summer break-this includes inhalers, ibuprofen, etc. Medication forms for next school year can be found on the school website or you can email the nurse for a copy!

    IMPORTANT Reminders for next school year:

  • All students are required to have the following health records on file in order to stay in school. These are mandated regulations from the state, and must be turned in. It is recommended to complete all health requirements as soon as possible in order to avoid summer rush and possibility of exclusion from school, which will occur on October 15, 2023. If health requirements are not met by October 15, 2023, your child will not be allowed to attend school until they have been met. All forms and health information can now be found on the schools website under Nurse’s Corner!
