Health Office Contact Information
The Munhall nurses have a new email address! Parents can now reach us at mun-nurses@d303.org. Please send any communication or health forms to this email address to ensure that all of our Munhall nurses receive this important information about your student(s)!
Note from the Nurse
If you have a Kindergarten or Second grade student, please remember to turn in their dental forms prior to the May 15th deadline.
As we all know there has been an increase in respiratory illnesses the past few weeks. Please remember that students who test positive for Covid are required to stay home for 5 full days. Day zero is the first day of symptoms. We highly advise, however do not require, wearing a mask upon return to school through day 10 to help prevent the spreading Covid to other students and staff.
Vision and Hearing Screening scheduled for February
Each year students receiving special education, those new to the State of Illinois schools, and those in mandated grades have vision and hearing screening performed in school by certified vision/hearing technicians. Munhall is scheduled for this routine screening during the weeks of 2/13/23 and 2/20/23. Hearing screening is mandated for elementary students in kindergarten, first, second and third grades. Vision is mandated for kindergarten and second grade for those who do not have a current vision exam. If you have any questions about this process, please feel free to reach out to the Munhall nurses at mun-nurses@d303.org.
We will typically send students outside for recess as long as the real feel temperature is above zero degrees.
Students are only permitted to go into the snow if they have snow pants and boots. Parents typically send students to school with their snow gear placed in a separate bag.
