Physical Examinations and Immunization Requirements

Parents of students entering pre-school, kindergarten, sixth and ninth grades (or school for the first time) are reminded that student physical examinations and up-to-date immunizations must be completed before the first day of school.  Additional all Junior High and High School students wishing to compete on any interscholastic athletic team are required to have an up-to-date physical exam on file.  Sixth grade and ninth grade athletes should use the school physical form which will work for the sports physical requirement.

Below are the requirements for the following grade levels:

The vision exams are due by October 15 of the current school year. Dental exams are due by May 15 of the current school year.  If needed, Miles of Smiles provides Dental care at school which can meet this requirement.

CURRENTLY ENROLLED UNIT 35 STUDENTS WILL NOT BE ALLOWED TO START SCHOOL WITHOUT THE REQUIRED IMMUNIZATIONS AND PHYSICAL

Make appointments early to avoid your child being excluded the first day of school.  For further information or to make an appointment for immunizations, call 618-662-4406. Clay County Health Department is located at 601 E 12^th Street in Flora.

We look forward to having your child here in the Flora Community School District No. 35.  If you have any questions or need assistance in meeting these requirements, please call the School Nurse’s office 662-4820.

Thank you!

New Students

Students entering Illinois schools from out-of-state must have up-to-date immunization records. A physical examination is necessary if none comparable to Illinois requirements has been completed within one year prior to the date of entering an Illinois school.  Lead screening is a part of the physical for pre-school and kindergarten students. Out of state students who will be attending an Illinois school for the first time must have an eye examination.

Records of students transferring from other school districts within Illinois must also be checked for immunization compliance.  An additional physical examination is not required for grade levels other than Pre-K, kindergarten, sixth, and ninth (or entering school for the first time) if compliance requirements have been met in that district.

Please refer to Physical Examination and Immunization Requirements above to see what is required.
