 From the Nurse’s Desk…    


South Holland School District 150 staff work with parents and students to keep students healthy in the school setting. However, sometimes students do get sick. We appreciate the fact that our parents have been diligent about keeping their children home when they are sick and notifying our main office. 

If children are vomiting or have a fever (100 degrees Fahrenheit or greater), they will be sent home and parents will be advised to keep sick children home for at least 24 hours after they stop vomiting or do not show signs of fever, without using fever-reducing drugs (any medicine that contains ibuprofen or acetaminophen).

All parents are required to phone in their child’s absence before 9:00 AM of each absent day. McKinley Schools: 1-708-339-8500 and Greenwood School: 1-708-339-4433


Doctors Note
If absence exceeds 3 days.
 All students (K-8) must return with a sign note from parents stating cause of illness if out for 3 days.
