DISTRICT 200 NEWS

District 200 has invested in a service to further support a culture of well-being for students, families and staff. ReferralGPS is a service that provides assistance in finding local mental health and substance abuse related treatment resources. This service compliments the district's existing systems of support as a tool for Student Services Teams and families to connect with treatment. Along with a searchable database of treatment options, ReferralGPS provides Care Navigation to assist families in triage and appointment setting. School district families and staff may access ReferralGPS in two ways:


  1. Contact a member of our Student Services Team (social workers, psychologists, counselors) to seek out treatment options

  2. Visit this link at https://referralgps.com/find-help/CUSD200 to search for treatment resources or connect with a Care Navigator anonymously

The platform has the ability to filter by mental health concern, clinician gender/specialty, location, and insurance acceptance. The service is available for all types of private and public insurance options including PPO, HMO, Medicaid, and families that are uninsured or underinsured. ReferralGPS is available for use by district students, families and staff at no cost. All information entered on the ReferralGPS tool is completely confidential and securely stored. Please note, this service is an optional resource available by choice and is not mandatory in any way. If you are interested in seeking counseling-related services at this time, please consider reaching out to the Student Services Team or visiting https://referralgps.com/find-help/CUSD200.

EAGLE HONOR WILL BE CELEBRATING ITS 13TH YEAR!

About the Event:
Each department within Monroe nominates an 8th grade student who most clearly exhibits
the six principles of the Medal of Honor: Courage, Sacrifice, Patriotism, Citizenship, and In-
tegrity. Students who are nominated should also have a commitment for his/her academic
achievement, dedication to the school’s values and outstanding character.

The nominated students, in turn, select a teacher from Monroe Middle School who has
impacted them in a special way throughout their educational experience. The student
and parent(s), along with the chosen faculty member, will be honored during a dinner
at a banquet ceremony.


This dinner not only honors the students and their achievements, but also the teachers
and parents whose time and dedication have helped to shape these young men and
women.

Monroe Middle School invites community businesses, parents and teachers to have a hand in this distinguished celebration by becoming a sponsor of the event.

“The Eagle Honor Dinner is a memorable event that brings students, families, and staff together to celebrate each other! I enjoy seeing the pride parents have for their child and the smiles on the faces of our students who are grateful to be recognized for their accomplishments. It is a special moment for everyone involved! ”
Tamy Scioli
8th Grade ELA Teacher


“The Eagle Honor ceremony has been an outstanding way to recognize those students and staff who have made a lasting impact on others. It has provided a unique opportunity to bring together stakeholders throughout the community and allows relationships to be developed in ways that the traditional school setting does not allow for. ”
Joseph Drover

“What an incredible night! The Eagle Honor Dinner was a celebration of students and faculty!”

FROM THE HEALTH OFFICE

Sports physicals:

1. Parents if you are getting sports physicals for your student for upcoming tryouts, please

send them to the athletic director, Mike McCormack. We do not keep copies of sports

physicals in their health file. (michael.mccormack@cusd200.org)

2. Sports physicals are only active for 13 months, so please check with Mr. McCormack to

see if your previous physical is still active.

3. 8th grade students: If you get a physical in 8th grade on the regular state form, not the

IHSA form, this can count for your 9th grade physical. The health office will need a

copy of that physical form, so we can keep it in their health file and notify the high

school. We will then give it to Mr. McCormack.

Please remember to call the attendance line when your child is absent and leave a specific

reason for the absence including their symptoms. The health department continues to track data on influenza and covid like symptoms.

Thank you,

Please call or email us with any questions monroehealthoffice@cusd200.org
