A Look Back at the Week!
School Safety Emergency Response Procedures
District 15 is strongly committed to school safety. Each year, school are required by by Illinois School Code to conduct the following drills:
Three evacuation drills. One of the three evacuation drills must be supervised by the fire department.
One bus evacuation drill.
One severe weather/shelter-in-place drill.
Two law enforcement (lockdown) drills. One of these two law enforcement drills must be a staff initiated lock-down. The schools also conduct an annual drill review meeting with principals and representatives from police and fire departments to continuously improve each school’s readiness to respond to an emergency and/or crisis situation.
Last Week, out of an abundance of caution, Winston Campus Administration and the Palatine Police Department decided to immediately lock down Winston Campus. This was not a drill but it was a decision made to allow the police, already on scene, to complete an investigation to determine if there was a threat to Winston Campus. After a thorough investigation, the threat was determined to be completely non-credible.
A lockdown is used when a situation may exist that could jeopardize the physical safety of the students and staff in the building. Staff follow the procedure to shout lockdown, sweep the area to move all students into a space that can be secured, they then secure the designated area, and silent while they wait for additional information.
Students and staff did an AMAZING job becoming secured and silent. Over the course of the day, school administrators and mental health clinicians visited classrooms to ensure the safety and wellbeing of students. The social and emotional wellbeing of our students is and continues to be our priority.
During the month of September, teacher will be reviewing D15's "See Something, Hear Something, Say Something" curriculum. When speaking with your child at home, please remind them if they see or hear something that is unsafe, it is important that they talk with a trusted adult.
Winston Campus thanks all of their families for helping to keep our school a safe place!

Health Forms
For the purpose of safeguarding the health of children, District 15 enforces Illinois student health requirements. These requirements consist of health, dental, and eye exams and immunizations specific to grade and age.
Health exams are required for students entering pre-school, kindergarten, sixth grade, and those who are new to the school. The Certificate of Child Health Examination form is available online and in the school office.
The exam form, completed and signed by a licensed healthcare provider, must be dated within one year prior to the first day of school and must include lead screening for children who are six years or younger and diabetes screening.
Health forms can be brought to the school office at any time.
On October 15, students who have not provided a health exam or required immunizations will be excluded from school. Students new to Illinois schools, who register mid-term, have 30 days following registration to comply with the health requirements.
