General Information

Health services are in place to help children function at their maximum capacity, protect them from disease, and to administer first aid. All of our nurses are RNs. Our nurses provide direct services to students with significant medical needs as well as consultation services to staff. A variety of plans are available to meet the needs of students including; Individual Health Care Plans and Emergency Action Plans, and Medical Safety Plans.

We are excited to continue to provide a variety of health services for our students. We are partnering with the Village of Skokie, Asian Human Services, and Preferred Dentistry, to provide Flu vaccinations and Dental clinics for District 69 students.

School Wellness

In addition to health services, School District 69 is committed to promoting the safety and wellness of all students. In an effort to maintain the goals set forth in District 69’s School Wellness Policy (6:50), food within our learning environments should be healthy. The Safe and Healthy Schools document includes information for parents regarding snacks and school celebrations.
