Health Services

The health program is designed primarily to maintain health and prevent serious disability or illness. Each school has a qualified nurse on duty each school day in which children are in attendance. To learn about required physical exams and immunizations, visit health requirements. 

Our overall goal is to ensure the health and well-being of all of our students. We strive to achieve this goal by:

• Providing basic first aid and emergency care to students and staff during school hours
• Assisting parents and students in monitoring and managing chronic illnesses such as diabetes, seizures, severe allergies, and asthma
• Managing and maintaining state mandated health records to ensure compliance with Illinois School Health Code
• Working collaboratively with the Health Department on monitoring and reporting concerns about, or symptoms of communicable diseases.
