ATTENTION PARENTS OF KINDERGARTEN, 6TH GRADE, and NEW STUDENTS
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 2025.
