To assist in finding an appointment for your child’s immunizations and physical exam, please visit the DuPage County Health Department or the VNA Health Clinic for available resources and services.
Per District 45 policy, a School Medication Authorization Form must be completed by both a parent and a physician before any medication can be administered at school. This requirement applies to prescription and over-the-counter medications, including over-the-counter cough drops. For questions, contact the Health Office at your child’s school.
All Illinois children in kindergarten and Grades 2 and 6 are required to have an oral health examination. The examination must be performed by a licensed dentist, who must sign the proof of school dental examination form. Each child is required to present proof of examination by a dentist prior to May 15 of the school year.
Public Act 099-0843 requires school districts to have an Asthma Emergency Response Protocol in place, provide training to staff on asthma symptoms and treatment every two years, and ask parents of students diagnosed with asthma to provide the school with an Asthma Action Plan annually.
If your child needs to receive medication at school or will be self-carrying/self-administering asthma medication at school, please have the school medication form completed by your child’s physician and complete the parent section.
These forms are also available at each school and at the District Office. Students not in compliance with the state-mandated health examination and immunization requirements will be excluded from school until such compliance.
