ARRIVAL/DISMISSAL PROCEDURES
A Note from the Health Office
Welcome back to school, I look forward to seeing your student(s) very soon! Here are some important facts from the health office...
If your student will need daily medication or keep medication in the health office, please get a medication authorization form completed by the Doctor for this school year. Here is a link to the Medication Authorization Form . Please note, any and all medication, including prescription and over the counter use, need an authorization form completed. Once you have the form and medication, you can bring it in to me, please do not send medication in with your student.
If you are a parent of a kindergartner, the first day of school for your student is Thursday, August 18th. All paperwork for your kindergarten student is due in the nurse's office prior to this start date (District 47 has a first day exclusion policy). Required paperwork includes a physical dated within the last year (with both sides of the form completed, including 'health history' portion, signed and dated by parent/guardian) and kindergarten immunizations up to date; a vision exam is due by October 15th and a dental exam is due in May/2023. I am in the building from 8:00am-4:00 pm daily starting Tuesday, August 9th. Or, if you have the completed paperwork, you can drop it off at any time, as the office is open. Or, you can email the paperwork to wesmedrecords@d47.org. If you send an electronic version from a 'portal', please make sure the health history portion is completed on page two or the back side of the form. If you have already submitted the required paperwork, thank you!
If you have any questions regarding the health office procedures for medication or required paperwork, please reach out to me! Ajkeegan@d47.org or 815-788-5555
