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.

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.
