Dear Parents and Guardians,
Colona School is pleased to partner with the Rock Island County Health Department’s School Health Link program to offer school and sports physicals, as well as immunizations if needed, right here at school. They will offer School/Sports physical and immunizations at Colona School on Thursday, October 29 starting at 10:30 AM.
This is a great opportunity to get your child’s sports physical completed for any sports they plan to participate in during the current school year! Sports physicals are valid for 395 days, making this a convenient option for families to help ensure their child is ready for the upcoming sports season.
Parents are welcome to accompany their child during the appointment if they prefer. However, if you would like your child to attend the appointment independently, a completed consent packet must be submitted prior to the clinic date. If you plan to accompany your child to the appointment, please notify Nurse Jill in advance.
Please return your completed packet to Nurse Jill by Monday, October 26, to guarantee your child a spot in the clinic.
Packets received after October 26 will be accepted at staff discretion and only if appointment slots are still available.
Attached below you will find the forms needed to participate in this program. If you are interested in having your child participate but need a printed copy of the forms, please contact Nurse Jill.
If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out to Nurse Jill at the school or contact the School Health Link program directly. You can reach them at 309-743-1470.
Thank you for your cooperation and for helping us provide convenient access to these important health services for our students!
Sincerely,
Nurse Jill
