    • Influenza, mostly A

    • Covid-19

    • Entero/Rhinovirus (think common cold)

Reminders

Dental Exam Forms are due May 15th! Required grades: Kindergarten, Second, Sixth, and Ninth.

Medication Authorization Forms can be turned in via fax (217-246-2267), email, or to the office. The form can be found under Medication Administration on this page.

With Influenza A, there have been numerous cases where a child will be fever free for 12 hours or more and then spike a fever again. Before sending your child back to school, please make sure they are fever free for 24 hours without medication (i.e. Tylenol, Motrin). If they are still having fevers, they are still contagious!
