Health Services

CCSD21 health staff work in conjunction with school staff and families to promote optimal health and safety, thereby facilitating the educational process for all students. Our goal is to offer a safe and healthy learning environment for all students.

Student Illness or Injury

When in-person instruction resumes, ill or injured children will be given care until parents can be contacted and, if needed, pick up the student and care for him/her outside of school. Students are never to leave school without being signed out in the school office by a parent, legal guardian or designated adult.

Children should not be in school with:

  • Fevers of 100.0°F or higher
  • Undiagnosed rashes
  • Sore, irritated eyes
  • Vomiting, diarrhea or severe abdominal cramps

Students should be free of fever, vomiting, and/or diarrhea for 24 hours without the use of medication before returning to school.

Information and Forms

Each collapsible section below contains important information and forms. Please complete forms as requested by your school’s nurse and return completed forms to school with your child.

Allergies

In January 2011, the Illinois State Board of Education enacted Public Act 96-0349, which requires school boards in Illinois to adopt policies promoting both the prevention and management of life-threatening allergic reactions. A copy of Community Consolidated School District 21’s manual, Procedures for Managing Life-Threatening Food Allergies in School, is available here or at your child’s school. In accordance with this policy, classroom snacks are limited to fruits, vegetables and hard cheese. If necessary, these snacks may be further limited in accordance with specific food allergies in a classroom. School District 21 does not allow food as a birthday treat at school.

Asthma

Medication Authorization

District policy states that medications, including over-the-counter medications, may be self-administered to students only upon written request of the student’s physician and parent/guardian.

Seizure

Epilepsy is a neurological disorder characterized by recurrent seizures. A seizure is a brief disruption of electrical activity in the brain. Epilepsy is sometimes called a “seizure disorder”.
