2011-12 LJHS School Improvement Plan
IMPORTANT NEW INFORMATION FOR ALL FAMILIES!!!!
Immunization Requirements Changed in School Code
On September 27, 2011, an amendment was added to Section 665 of the Child Health Examination portion of the School Code under Section 665.240 Basic Immunizations. It states:
Beginning with school year 2011-12, any child entering sixth grade shall show proof (see Section 665.250(b) of receiving one dose of Tdap (defined as tetanus, diphtheria, acellular pertussis) vaccine regardless of the interval since the last DTaP, DT, or Td dose.
Students entering grades seven through 12 who have not already received Tdap are required to receive 1 Tdap dose regardless of the interval since the last DTaP, DT, Td dose.
Many of the students have received a vaccination in the last few years to boost their pertussis immunity. Many of these immunizations have been documented on physical forms as a DTP, DTaP, Pediatric DT, or Td, and not specifically a Tdap. The Illinois Department of Public Health has stated that each child must show documented proof of having received a Tdap immunization.
If your child has not received a Tdap immunization, they will be required to do so by October 15, 2012 or be excluded from school until they can show proof of having received it. If your child has recently received an immunization, but needs verification that it was a Tdap immunization that was given, you will be notified by a letter in the mail.
Please feel free to contact the health office if you have any questions about this amendment.

Homework Hotline
Where is your assignment notebook? Oh, no! You forgot to write down the assignment!
You've been absent and have tons of work to make up but what is it?
I think there is a test coming up!
Panic sets in...
...but don't worry you are only a few simple clicks away from the needed information your teachers posted on the Homework Hotline. Simply go to the district web page at www.lisle202.org and click on the Junior High School tab. Look on the left side of the screen for the Homework Hotline button and click. Then click on the date you were absent to view the assignments for that day.
Homework Hotline is not a replacement for being a responsible student. The best way to stay organized is to use your assignment notebook. We would encourage parents to continue to check your student's assignment notebooks each day as well. As always, if you have any questions you may contact the classroom teacher. (E-mail addresses are the teachers' first initial and last name, followed by @lisle202.org)
