Notes From the Wellness Center
Notes from the Wellness Office
 
Naperville School District 203 and Edward Hospital have extended an offer to our students at SFHS to obtain a sport physical for the upcoming school year. IHSA requires that students have an annual physical assessment on file prior to trying out for a sport. THIS EXAMINATION DOES NOT MEET THE 9TH GRADE SCHOOL ENTRANCE PHYSICAL ASSESSMENT REQUIREMENT. Parents may contact Edward Hospital directly for questions and registration.Click here for the information. You can download the sports physical form from our website.
Talking to Teens Booklet
By working together, we can make a difference
 
This booklet is designed to help prevent underage drinking by encouraging open, honest communication. Along with parents, tackling underage drinking requires a team approach: teachers, community groups, businesses, members of the alcohol beverage industry and many others. The Illinois Principals Association and the Associated Beer Distributors of Illinois have joined together to develop this booklet not only because underage drinking can cause harm to children, but more importantly, because many of us are parents ourselves. And just like most parents, we want our children to live happy, healthy lives by making smart choices, resisting peer pressure, respecting the law and avoiding underage drinking.
This link http://www.abdi.org/public/teens.htm will allow you to download the booklet or order the booklet for distribution in your schools.  Thank you for your interest in this booklet and we hope it helps you feel a bit more at ease about talking to your children about alcohol.
