ATTENTION PARENTS OF STUDENTS ENTERING KINDERGARTEN

3 REQUIREMENTS THAT MUST BE MET

1. All students entering Kindergarten must have a physical examination and updated immunizations before starting school.  The physical needs to be within one year of the start of school and must include the mandated 5-year-old shots.  This is an Illinois state requirement. Your child will not be able to start school if this is not done and will not be allowed to attend until this requirement is met.  Please bring completed physical exam forms and shot records in as soon as possible to the nurse. The blank form is available on this web site under the heading "Physical Examination Form". See your school nurse if you need help finding a health care provider.
