Health Services
The Health Center is staffed with nurses and assistants who work very closely with administrators, the School Counseling Department, and Student Services staff.
Visiting a School Nurse
- Students visiting the Nurse's Office during a scheduled class must obtain a pass from the teacher.
- Students who have been absent for illness three or more days in a row must obtain a re-admission slip from the Nurse's Office before returning to class. A note from the physician is required indicating that a student may return to school following (1) surgery or other hospitalizations, (2) a communicable disease, (3) homebound instruction, and (4) absences of six days or more. Limitations on physical activity and recommendations for rest periods should also be noted.
- Students returning to school following a psychiatric hospitalization must bring a note to the Nurse's Office from the psychiatrist, clinical psychologist, or clinical social worker.
- Students with casts and/or crutches should also bring a note from the physician relative to limitations. The Nurse's Office will issue an Early Pass to a student requiring additional passing time.
- A pass is required to use the elevator.
- Illinois State Law requires proof that the required health exams and immunizations be completed.
