Health Services

OUR MISSION:

Children's health is a key element in positive educational outcomes. The goal of Hawthorn District #73 Health Services and our School Nurses is to promote, protect, support, improve and sustain the health, emotional well-being and safety of all students and staff for optimal health, growth, learning, and quality of life. This is accomplished in collaboration with the students, families, staff, administrators, and community resources.

The Health Information section on the STUDENT INFORMATION sheets, which parents update each school year, requests important medical information. Please complete this section as accurately as possible, as this information will accompany your child to the hospital if emergency treatment is needed. It also enables the Nurse to understand your child's health needs at school. If there are changes during the school year, please be sure to notify the Nurse. This health information is maintained by the Nurse in each building and is kept confidential. Please feel free to contact the Nurse at your child's school, regarding any concerns about your child's health or medical needs.

Please visit the information links, listed in the box on the right of this page. (Some of these sites are currently under development.) Most of the information is also available in the School Handbook. Please call the nurse in your child's building if you need more information.
