If you have any questions or would like to discuss your child's health issues, please call the nurse's office at (847) 745-3802.

Health Office Reminders

1. Children need breakfast every morning. They go 10-12 hours without eating. It is important to get their bodies and brains going by feeding them a healthy breakfast. Children learn better and feel better with something in their stomachs. Children who do not have breakfast have trouble learning and participating in class activities. Start the day right!
2. Please call the Health Office at (847) 745-3802 every day your child is absent from school.
3. Please check your child regularly for lice. If you need information about lice and how to check your child’s head, visit cdc.gov, www.youtube.com (search for “Head Lice to Dead Lice”), or click here. Following summer and winter vacations are the times when head lice are more common.
