Physical Exam Requirement for School Attendance

Illinois law requires all students entering early childhood, kindergarten, and 6th grade have a complete physical and immunizations, which are current. In order for students to start school, the physical and immunization information must be on file in the school. If the child is not in compliance by the 1st day of school attendance, he/she WILL be excluded from school until such time as the parent presents proof of having had the health examination and necessary immunizations. Transfer students must also have this requirement met BEFORE starting school.

Illinois law requires all students in kindergarten, 2nd and 6th grades turn in proof of a dental examination by May 15th of each school year. The school dental examination must have been completed within 18 months of the May 15th deadline.

Illinois law states that children entering kindergarten or registering for the first time in an Illinois public, private or parochial school must complete an eye examination by an eye care professional and show proof on or before October 15th of the school year.

If you need copies of the physical/immunization form, the dental form, or the vision examination form and you have Adobe® Acrobat® Reader, you can download them from the links below, and have them completed by your physician, dentist, or eye doctor.
