The state of Illinois recently updated the medication policy for schools. Per Illinois state law, all medications, including over the counter medication (Tylenol, Ibuprofen, Motrin, Cough Drops, etc.) require a prescription by a licensed provider and parental consent.

A Medication Authorization Form and/or an OTC (Over the Counter) Medication Authorization Form MUST be filled out by a medical professional AND signed by a parent/guardian in order for medication to be administered at school. The forms are valid for one (1) school year and must be RENEWED (signed by both medical professional AND parent/guardian) EACH school year.

All completed medical forms should be returned to Health Services (Room 142) As Soon as Possible.

If you have any questions regarding medical information, please contact our Health Services Office at 708-467-5647 or 708-467-5648 (Spanish).
