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.
