REQUIRED HEALTH EXAMINATION AND IMMUNIZATION
2002-03 SCHOOL YEAR

Dear Parents/Guardians:

The School Code of Illinois and School Board Policy of District #101 require that before students may start school in the fall, the following conditions must be met for entrance into kindergarten, 5^th and 9^th grades. 

1.                  A complete physical examination on the Certificate of Child Health Examination form signed by a licensed physician or osteopath and dated no earlier than one year prior to the first day of school is required.  A sports physical does not meet the requirements and is insufficient.

TRANSFER STUDENTS from out-of-state or out-of-country must provide a health form that is comparable to the Illinois requirements and is acceptable if the exam was done within one year of entering an Illinois school.  If not, the above physical exam is required.

2.                  A complete immunization record including DPT or DT, Polio, Measles, Mumps and Rubella is required.

The DT booster that is required every ten years is recommended to be given at the time of the 9^th grade physical if it will be needed anytime prior to high school graduation.

3.                  STATE OF ILLINOIS REQUIREMENT:  All incoming and transfer students entering GRADES 5 THROUGH 10 will be required to show evidence of the completed hepatitis B series.

4.                  Parents are to sign and complete the medical history section of the form.

5.                  A statement from a physician or health care provider stating that the student has been screened for lead poisoning is required (kindergarten students only).

*            RECOMMENDED HEALTH-RELATED EXAMINATIONS

2.      Vision Examination

3.      Tuberculin (TB) Testing
