Any out-of-state students attending Illinois schools for the first time must have an Illinois physical exam, an eye exam, and proof of up-to-date immunizations prior to enrolling. If you do not provide documentation at the time of enrollment, you have 30 days to meet this requirement after registering your child.
If your child suffers from asthma, diabetes, seizure disorder, food allergy and/or an insect allergy, you must complete an Action Plan. Your family physician should also sign the completed form. Then return it to your child’s school ASAP.
If your child needs to take prescription medication or over the counter medication while at school, a Medication Authorization must be completed by the prescribing physician. Medication cannot be administered without the medication authorization form on file.
If you would like to discuss health concerns for your child, please contact your child’s school secretary or principal and give a brief description of your concern. The district’s nurse works at every school, and the principals and secretaries all know how to reach her.
