Child Health Examination (physical) and immunization record is required for students entering kindergarten, sixth grade, and ninth grade at any Illinois public or private school must provide proof of physical examination on a form approved by both the Illinois Department of Public Health and the Illinois State Board of Education. Students entering an Illinois school from out of state or out of country for the first time at any grade level must also provide the physical exam form. The exam must be completed no earlier than a year (365 days) prior to the start of attendance at an Illinois school.

Child Health Examination forms will need to be turned in by October 15th. After October 15, students could face exclusion until the examination is completed.

New students to the district from out of state or out of the country have 30 days from the first day of attendance to submit a health exam. For example, if a student’s first day in the district is January 20, that student has 30 days from that day to turn in a physical.
