Health Office Information

Health Issues          

Mrs. Sweis is our school nurse. Medication can be administered only with a signed physician’s order, which is part of the District 135 medication policy. This form can be obtained in the nurse’s office. This policy is inclusive of both prescription and over-the-counter medications. Medications must be brought to school by the parent or guardian in the original, properly labeled container. Only the nurse or a school administrator can administer medicine to a student. You can contact Mrs. Sweis at 364-3804.

Health Records

By law, all children entering school for the first time and all sixth graders must present evidence of a recent physical examination and of immunizations against certain diseases before the first day of school. These records must be turned in to the school nurse’s office by the beginning of the school year.
