Health Requirements

To ensure health and safety for all, students entering early childhood, kindergarten, 6th grade, and 9th grade are required to have a current physical examination and immunizations on file in the school health office before the first day of school and preferably by August 1. Students who do not submit required health documents by the first day of school may be excluded from school until documentation has been received per Board Policy 7:100. 

Students new to Illinois will have 30 days from the enrollment date to submit documentation of the required immunizations and physical exam and must also complete a vision exam.

Religious objections to any physical examination or immunization must be submitted by a parent/guardian in writing and must contain the required information. 

Health Forms 

Health forms can be found under the Students & Families tab of our website or may be obtained by a medical provider. Forms may be sent electronically (see school health office emails below) or dropped off at the school main office. Forms may not be dropped off at the district office. Note: Physical exams and immunizations can be submitted to the health office at any time during the current school year in preparation for the next school year.
