Requirements are:
6th grade: school physical, immunizations and dental exam.

Per school policy, no prescription or non-prescription medication will be given at school without a signed doctor’s order form and signed consent from the parent.
Please check the school website, our facebook page, and weekly reminders from Parent Square for all the specific details on exactly what your child will need for the fall. Thank you and have a great summer!
Also from the CCHD
As summer winds down and the start of the school year approaches, I wanted to re-share a helpful resource to support your back-to-school preparations. The Illinois Chapter of the American Academy of Pediatrics (ICAAP) has developed a Back-to-School Toolkit designed specifically for schools. It’s well done and offers guidance and resources related to school immunizations.
We recently attended a Vaccine Summit hosted by IDPH, where resources like this were highly recommended as key tools for schools and families to stay on track with immunizations.
Please don’t hesitate to reach out if you have any questions or if we can support you in any way.
Thank you,
