The School Code of Illinois requires that each student entering 9th grade have a physical examination completed by a licensed physician, advanced practice nurse, or physicians assistant. The physical exam must be on the State of Illinois Certificate of Child Health Exam form and up-to-date immunizations compliant with the Illinois Department of Public Health. Your child will not be given a class schedule without this health information.  A sport physical will not be accepted in place of a Certificate of Child Health Examination for school entry. New state law requires all 9^th graders to have proof a dental exam as well.

 

 

Please be advised that students, entering the 12^th grade, are required to receive a second dose of the meningococcal conjugate vaccine (MCV4). The immunization requirement consists of two doses for the 12^th grade entrance unless the first dose was administered to a child who was 16 years or older, in which case only one dose would be required at the 12^th grade entrance. Proof of this requirement must be turned in to the Nurse’s office in order for your child to receive a schedule.

 

 

Please contact the nurse’s office with any questions. (708) 499-2550 ext. 5780 or 5781.
