Health Services
A student’s success in education is directly related to their physical, mental, and emotional well-being. Our health services staff provide primary access to healthcare for students and staff during the school day to support an optimal learning environment.
At Sycamore Community School District 427, safety is our top priority. When students and staff gather in our buildings during the school day, our health services staff ensure that we have a response in place for any first aid, emergency medical, or other health-related situations that may occur. Additionally, our health services staff maintain records of student health history and requirements. Students who receive medication or treatment during the school day are assisted by health services staff, who educate students throughout the process.
Student Health Requirements
The School Code of Illinois and Sycamore Community School District 427 Board of Education Policy require students entering kindergarten, sixth, ninth, and twelfth grades and any student new to the District to meet the following requirements. Students will be excluded from school as of October 1 of each year if the required forms are not completed and on file with health services.
Resources
Many of our student health requirements are based on guidance from local and state health departments. Working with these organizations ensures that we follow the latest advice and mandates in regard to student health. Health services also collaborates with local and district organizations to provide support to students and families.
