Transfer Students Health Requirements

Physical Examinations

Illinois State Law and District 202 requires students entering Preschool, Kindergarten, 6th grade, 9th grade, and/or when transferring from an out-of-state school to have their required physical exams and immunizations completed by the first day of school, or they will not be allowed to enter class. Appointment dates will not be accepted. The health history portion of the physical examination form must be completed and signed by the parent in order for the physical to be valid.

Local health and dental resources who offer services based on a sliding scale and/or accept Medicaid and KidCare are available from your school’s nurse.
