Notes from the Nurse
Spring is just around the corner! With blooming flowers and budding trees, allergies are on the rise. Please monitor your child for common allergy symptoms such as sneezing, a runny nose, and watery eyes. Keep in mind that allergies do NOT cause fevers. If your child has a fever or if allergy symptoms do not improve with treatment, check with their physician for treatment options.
Attention Parents of Incoming Kindergartners and 6th Graders:
School physicals for the 2025-2026 school year must be completed on the new Illinois Certificate of Child Health Examination form. Physicals on outdated forms will not be accepted.
Building Nurses Are Now Accepting Physicals for the 2025-2026 School Year!
Beat the summer rush—schedule your child’s physical today!
Have a safe and healthy spring break.
