Sharing Our Purpose With The Community

hands love color The primary purpose of our “School Health Service Department” is to promote the physical and emotional health of students and staff, thereby maximizing the educational process. School Health Services are intended to play an integral part in support of health care provided by parents as well as services. These include screening tests, emergency care of the sick and injured, and keeping health records up-to-date. It is important to note our health personnel serves as a vital link to medical and other community resources. All children entering grades Pre-K, Kindergarten, 2nd and 6th must have up-to-date state requirements.

More Information Coming Soon!

Thank You,

Dr. LaTanya Kennedy, RN

Dear Parents/Guardians:

Legislation dealing with school health records and immunization requirements for all Illinois school children mandates that each student upon initial entrance to District 167 schools have a:

Physical examination and a documented immunization record in compliance with current public health regulation
Dental examination (required for all children entering kindergarten)
Eye examination by an optometrist or licensed physician (State Law)

Nurse looking after girl Under the Lead Screening Law (P.A.-93-0104), your health care provider must conduct a lead assessment survey to determine if a lead screening is necessary. This requirement is for children 6 months through 6 years of age. Children over 6 years of age may be screened in conjunction with the school health examination when in the medical judgment of the health care provider, the child(ren) is potentially at high risk for lead poisoning. The attached “Certificate of Child Health Examination” (physical form), “Proof of School Dental Examination Form”, and the “State of Illinois Eye Examination Report” are the only correct forms to use. Please make early appointments for your child/children, and have your licensed health care provider complete all areas and sign each form. Parents/guardians are to complete and sign the health history section of the physical form. The School Code states that children will be excluded from school if the requirements for physical examinations and immunizations are not met.

Please return the forms to your child’s school no later than two weeks before the first day of school. Incomplete forms will be returned to parent/guardian.

Parent Update - Return To In-Person Learning Begins February 23, 2021

Dear Parents/Guardians/Families:

The purpose of this message is to share with you the learning options that Brookwood School District 167 is offering for the remainder of the year. Beginning February 23, 2021 parents will have the option to send their child(ren) back to school for in-person learning for full-time instruction. However, parents may choose to continue the remote learning model for the remainder of the school year.

Option #1: In-Person Learning: This option provides students with full-time learning at their school. In order to provide in-person learning, Brookwood School District 167 is committed to implementing all required safety and cleaning protocols outlined by IDPH/CDC. If schools should be required to shift back to Remote Learning (due to current health metrics/increased positivity rates), students can expect to return to the remote structure they have been receiving since the start of the school year. In the event this learning option is not meeting your child’s needs, you may revert back to the Remote Learning Model by notifying your child’s Principal.

Option #2: Remote Learning: With this option, parents are choosing to have learning delivered 100% on-line/remotely. Students who are enrolled in this option should expect to engage with their teachers during normal school hours on a daily basis and receive live (synchronous) instruction for 2.5 hours per day. This matches the current format. All students who are enrolled in Option #2 will experience all subject areas and the current online tools and resources will remain in place. By selecting this option, you will not be able to change your selection and your child will remain in remote learning for the remainder of the school year.

*Please Note: For both options, devices will be provided to all Brookwood School District 167 students. Also with both options, students can rely on Brookwood School District 167 for food service, social-emotional wellness, and special education services. Furthermore, both options emphasize safety, educational quality, and parental choice. Please take time to complete the enrollment form so we understand the option that best meets your child needs. We will register your child, for the remainder of the school year, in the specified learning option you select.

Sincerely,

Bethany A. Lindsay, Superintendent
