Whew!!! What a month we just had here at St. Francis. Our Fall Parents Social – Comedy Sportz was a big hit. Thanks to all who attended and special thanks to Allison Simmons, Donna Simoncelli and their committee for all their hard work in organizing a great night out. The SAA held their annual Golf Outing which was a huge success and enjoyed by all who attended. Also, if you did not purchase your school directory, your child can purchase them at the bookstore or you may purchase them at the concession stand during volleyball games. They are $3.00 a piece or 2 for $5.00. This past week our students have been celebrating Homecoming with the theme As this month’s activities end, others are in the process of being prepared! The SAA 5K run will be held on Sunday, October 28th – information will be coming shortly. The annual PO Fashion Show will be held on Sunday, November 18 th at Drury Lane. A BIG thank you to Carrie Howe and Anne Roberts for coming forward to chair this event.

NOTES FROM THE WELLNESS OFFICE |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Medications at school All medications given in school are required to be approved by a licensed prescriber. Written documentation is required by the parent and physician by completing the Authorization for the Administration of Medication form which can be downloaded from the website. Medications will not be given unless this form is on file in the office. Medications must be in their original containers and not in plastic baggies. This applies to emergency medications such as inhalers and EpiPens. If you have any questions please see the policy on the website or call the office. Health and Immunizations All students must submit proof of having a health examination upon entering the ninth grade and proof of having received all vaccinations required by the State of Illinois. Compliance with these requirements is most important for the health of all our St. Francis students and staff. It’s also the law!! West Nile Virus It’s mosquito season. They are particularly bad in our area right now. Mosquitoes transmit serious and sometimes fatal diseases, such as the West Nile Virus. The onset of symptoms is 3-14 days after being bitten by an infected mosquito. Most people infected with the WNV experience few if any symptoms and recover completely after a few days. Although rare, some may experience West Nile encephalitis or meningitis-these symptoms include headache, high fever, stiff neck, mental status changes, coma, convulsions, muscle weakness and paralysis. Persons over the age of about 55 or with pre-existing health conditions are more likely to develop severe illness. The neurologic effects may be permanent. Protect yourself from bites by:
Illegally Sold Colored Contact Lenses
We received an alert from the Division of Professional Regulation regarding the illegal sale of colored contact lenses that are sold primarily to teenagers. These imported lenses (which may or may not be FDA approved) are sold under the counter at beauty supply stores, flea markets, athletic stores or costume stores. Since an eye care professional is not available, there is no fitting, no handling instructions or any explanation of the disinfection process. With recurrent use, improper storage and over wear, infection may likely ensue and subsequent permanent corneal scarring and vision loss may follow. Symptoms include inflammation, irritation, pain, and discharge. Adults should note students who present with a different eye color. Top |
