District 88 shares important health reminders

Class of 2024

  • The Illinois School Code, the Illinois Department of Public Health and District 88 require each student who’s entering ninth grade to have a physical exam within one year of starting high school, including the necessary immunizations. A completed physical form (or proof of a scheduled physical) is required, and students are unable to participate in physical education classes or athletic activities until the form is submitted.

  • A dental exam is required for all ninth-graders and must have taken place within the last 18 months (before May 15 of each school year).
