***********************************************************************
NEW PHYSICAL FORM 2012
All physicals should be documented on the new State of Illinois Department of Human Services form. It is important that all immunizations are documented on the front of this form.
MEDICATION ADMINISTRATION CONSENT FORM
A Medication Administration Consent form must be completed and signed by a physician in order for your student to receive medication while in school. This is required for both prescription and over-the-counter (OTC) medications. A separate form must be used for each medication. New forms must be completed each year. The Health Office
has a supply of ibuprofen and acetaminophen. Any other medications must be supplied by a parent. Medications must be brought in by a parent, labeled and in the original packaging/container. Students are not allowed to have medication on their person at any time for any reason (epi pens and inhalers excepted). Students should not be in attendance if taking narcotic medication. (See Medication Administration form below.)

IS YOUR TETANUS BOOSTER UP-TO-DATE?
If more than ten years have passed since the last booster, an additional tetanus booster is required - SEE ABOVE UPDATE. Please check to see that your tetanus and other immunizations are up-to-date. Students may be excluded from school if immunizations are not current or are incomplete.
NOROVIRUS - VIRAL GASTROENTERITIS
Norovirus outbreaks increase in the colder months and generally do not cause a severe illness. Transmission is primarily through the oral-fecal route (person-to-person or by fecally contaminated food or water). Norovirus infection can cause vomiting and diarrhea approximately 24 to 48 hours after exposure and the illness often comes on suddenly, without warning. Many people have no symptoms at all, but can pass the illness to others. Most people recover in 1 or 2 days. Everyone should practice good hand washing and other hygienic practices to avoid illness and especially while recovering. There is no treatment for this illness. See link below for more details.

MONONUCLEOSIS
