Health Requirements for Freshmen Students
Incoming freshmen require documentation of a health examination with proof of immunizations using the State of Illinois Certificate of Child Health Examination form within one year prior to entering ninth grade. The Health Examination Form with proof of immunizations is due prior to the first day of school. 

If this document is not submitted by October 15th, students will be excluded from school. This exclusion shall begin immediately and shall remain in effect until the student is in compliance according to the Illinois School Code (105 ILCS 5/27-8.1).

All incoming freshmen students are required to submit:

• Health examination with proof of immunizations prior to the first day of school. This health examination must be completed by a MD, DO, APN or PA using the State of Illinois Certificate of Child Health Examination Form. The parent/legal guardian must also complete the student's health history questionnaire, sign and date page 1 of the examination form. The form is deemed incomplete if this section is not filled out.
• Dental examination no later than May 15th of the student's freshman year. This dental examination must be completed by a licensed dentist using the State of Illinois Dental Examination Form. 

Completing the Child Health Examination Form
The two page document must be filled out completely. On page 1, there is a section called “student health history” which must be filled out, signed, and dated by the parent/guardian. The form is considered incomplete without this section. Please make certain that your student’s healthcare provider fills out the form to its entirety. The form has a series of questions that must be answered by the provider conducting the physical exam. In addition, students entering grades 7 through 12 who have not already received a Tdap vaccination are required to receive 1 Tdap dose regardless of the interval since the last DTaP, DT or Td dose. Failure to complete any of the above will result in the form being returned for completion. 

Making a Copy for Your Records
Please make a copy of the completed form and keep it in a safe place with your important documents. These records will be necessary for attending college, day camps, the military, and some jobs.
