A Peek At Our Week
Health Office Update
Dates for Evergreen's vision and hearing screening are on the school calendar for mandated grades, new Evergreen students, and students receiving special education services. Screenings can be completed for teacher or parent requests as needed. If your student wears glasses or hearing devices, please be sure to send them with your student each day. In lieu of the screening services required, a completed and signed report form, indicating the child had an ear examination by a physician and an audiological evaluation completed by an audiologist within the previous 12 months, is acceptable. The parent or legal guardian of a student may object to hearing or vision screening tests for their children on religious grounds. If a religious objection is made, a written and signed statement from the parent or legal guardian detailing such objections must be presented to the local school authority. Screening instruments, test procedures and referral criteria are defined in the Illinois Administrative Code. Children whose test results meet referral criteria are referred to an eye doctor or family physician for further evaluation. If your student has been referred by the health office, please complete the exam in a timely fashion.
This is a reminder that no student should have any medication with them during school hours (including cough drops, eye drops, cold medication, cough medication, etc) unless they have the proper paperwork in place to administer it to themselves. An inhaler and Epi-pen are the only medications that can be carried with a student for self-administration at this time. Having students carry other medication could be a dangerous situation if the medication got into the wrong hands. Any parent is welcome to come to school to administer medication to their student as needed. Per Illinois School Code "the administration of medication to students during the regular school hours and during school-related activities should be discouraged unless absolutely necessary for the critical health and wellbeing of the student.” If this is the case, please complete the necessary forms to be completed by the physician and talk to the nurse at your student's school building to make necessary arrangements.
We are beginning to see cases of common illnesses and health problems at both buildings. So far we have heard about hand, foot, and mouth, strep, pink eye, the stomach bug, COVID, and lice all reported to the health office. Please be vigilant in checking your students for their wellness and continue to keep them home when ill. When home, it is recommended to consult your child's physician for treatment options and needs based on their symptoms. Please inform the building nurse of any concerning health conditions.
Let's have a safe and healthy school year!
