USD 466 School Health

05/11/2026

Hard to believe it is almost the end of the year!! That said, it's time to think about what you'd like done with your child's medications that are at school.

All medications, EpiPens, inhalers, etc... will need to be picked up by a parent or guardian in the school offices unless you contact the school and make other arrangements.

All medications that are left, not claimed, or those in which other arrangements have not been made by June 1 will be disposed of. Some arrangements options include: permission to send meds home with students, permission to have meds picked up by another individual, or hold meds until next school (as long as they are not/will not expire before then) with the understanding that new administration permission forms will still have to be completed for the next year.
I understand the expense of many of these medications and will work with you to make every effort to ensure arrangements are made before disposal. You can call, email, or message on parent square to let us know your preferences.

Thank you for your help! Have a GREAT summer!!

🏫🍎Welcome to back school! 🍎📓

🩺Just a quick note with some important information from the health office:

If your child has/needs:
* 💊Medications to be given at school (keep in mind that these meds should be only necessary med(s) that cannot be given at any other times, like before or after school hours)

* 🚨Emergency plans (seizure, asthma, or allergy action plans, etc...)

* 🥜Meal modifications

* 📋School entry or sports physicals completed

We need those forms updated EVERY year!

I understand that some of those forms require a doctor's signature. That being said, I also understand that getting those before the start of school can be a challenge and may not have those for me by the first day of school. Just communicate that with me and I'm glad to work with you!😊

The link below will take you to the school website where you can find copies of those forms. ⬇️

Feel free to contact the school offices or me if you have any questions!

We look forward to seeing everyone again! 🥰

Did you know that all nursing and teaching staff, paras, bus drivers, coaches and administrators in USD 466 are certified in CPR? ❤️We sure are!
We have several certified CPR instructors on staff to make that happen and a priority!(Shout out to Shelley Harvey as well for helping us get that done!)Edit: Also have to thank the Scott Community Foundation for their support!!

We have also added additional AEDs to locations across the district to ensure quick access to those devices.

I am proud of the efforts our district has made to help ensure quick response to any choking or cardiac events that may occur with our students or visitors to our schools and events!👏🏼👏🏼

Only 1 in 10 people suffering cardiac arrest survive without CPR.
