I will be available in my health office on August 20, 21, and 22nd from 4pm to 6pm for parents to drop off health office paper work, medications and action plans for the 2013-2014 school year. I would be happy to set up a private appointment with parents who need to discuss medical concerns before the start of the school year. You can email me atjstrokosch@op97.org with requests.

Reminder!! All medications need to have a physician order and all medications need to be labeled with the prescribing information printed on the label.

Actions plans for Food Allergy, Asthma, and Seizures are required 

Health Forms that need to be submitted preferably by the first day of school or by  October 15 are as follows

-Certificate of Child Health and Proof of Immunizations for all Kindergarten students and all students transferring from out of the district. A letter of Religious Exemption can be turned in for those declining vaccinations. Proof of a lead screening result from the age of 6 months to 6 years is required for Oak Park which is a high risk area for lead.
