ATTENTION PARENTS OF KINDERGARTEN, 6TH GRADE, and NEW STUDENTS
IMPORTANT: The deadline to submit your student’s school physical exam and immunization records to school is OCTOBER 15, 2024. If you have not submitted your child’s Illinois State required health documentation by the exclusion deadline, your child will not be allowed to come to school until it is received.
The Illinois School Code requires that children entering preschool, kindergarten (or first grade if kindergarten was not attended) and sixth grade must have had a physical exam within one year prior to starting that grade level. Students of any age transferring from a school outside Illinois must also have had a physical within the last year.

The Illinois Department of Public Health also requires specific immunizations for students enrolling in public schools. Students are required to show proof of immunizations at the start of the school year. Proof of your child’s immunizations are due by OCTOBER 15, 2024
