Health Requirements for Elementary School Attendance & Helpful Information:

Health Requirements for School Attendance

Physical examinations are required for early childhood kindergarten, kindergarten and for students entering school for the first time. Physicals must be completed no earlier than one year prior to the student’s first day of school. Students transferring from an Illinois school may submit the physical on file from the previous school. Out of state/country transfer students must present a health examination that was completed within one year prior to entry into an Illinois school on a form comparable to the Illinois physical form. New students have a thirty (30) day grace period to provide evidence of a physical examination and immunizations. For safety considerations, students may not participate in physical education class until the required physical form is on file in the health office.

Immunizations are required for school attendance.

Dental examinations are required for kindergarten and second grade students. The dental
exam must be conducted within one year of May 15 of the current school year.

Medications: In order for students to receive any medication at school, you and your doctor must complete the district’s medication order form:  Forms for Medication, Allergies or Asthma

Asthma: If your student has asthma, having an Asthma Action Plan at school means that we will have an awareness of what your child's triggers are and what their "green, yellow, and red" Peak Flow Zones are. The information in an Asthma Action Plan will give us the information we need to take care of your child. Please download and print an Asthma Action Plan here: Asthma Action Plan 

Food/Peanut/Tree Nut Allergies: Please notify the health office if your child has any type of severe food allergy that may require emergency attention. Download a form here: Food Allergy Emergency Action Plan . Your child's medical provider will also need to agree to have this emergency medication available for your child to have at school if needed. Download a Medication Administration in School form here: Medication Administration in School.
