A goal of District 25 is to provide a safe environment for all children. Students with life threatening allergies may require certain safeguards in order to be safe in school.

Protecting students with life-threatening allergies is the shared responsibility of families, schools, and the community. Arlington Heights School District 25 cannot create or ensure an all allergen-free environment. That said, the Allergy Guide below addresses the needs of students with life threatening allergies and when implemented will reduce the risks associated with exposure.

In an effort to control the spread of head lice, we ask that you carefully inspect your child’s scalp at least once a week.  The best way to find head lice is to take your child to a well lit area, use a magnifying glass and a fine-tooth comb and inspect the base of the hair shafts within a quarter inch of the scalp.  You may see crawling lice, but it is more probable that you will see nits (lice eggs) firmly attached to the hair shaft.  Although many children have no symptoms, some children experience an itchy scalp, a feeling of tingling or movement in the hair or scratch marks on the scalp.

If you suspect or confirm that your child has head lice, please contact your pediatrician and the school nurse regarding treatment.  Please complete the “Head Lice Proof of Treatment Checklist” and bring your child to the school nurse.

"Vaping" is the act of inhaling vaporized liquid or aerosol through an electronic cigarette or other device, such as a vape pen. The device heats up via a battery-operated coil, turning the liquid into an aerosol that is inhaled and exhaled. The liquid can contain nicotine, water, flavor, chemicals, and other substances. The health risks associated with vaping are still being investigated, but there is a growing body of evidence to support dangers associated with these devices (National Center on Addiction and Substance Abuse).

eCigarettes and other vaping devices are not allowed on District property. District 25 is committed to educating students and families about the risks associated with vaping. There is a common misconception that vapes contain only water and flavoring, thus making them harmless. Please use the links below to better understand vaping and to support conversations with your children.
