All students entering senior year must show proof of receiving (2) meningitis vaccines (must be MCV4) if they received their first dose prior to the age of 16. If they received only one dose of vaccine and it was given after the age of 16, they will be considered in compliance with only 1dose.
This vaccine was not previously required for medical compliance, so any doses previously administered may not have been entered into your child’s school computerized record. Therefore, please present proof of all dates your child has received the vaccine, (even if it was on previous records) to the school nurse prior to the end of their Junior school year.

Physical exams are only required for medical compliance in 9th grade and first entrance to CPS in high school. However, if a student is participating in any type of team they will require a yearly physical in order to participate. Please make enough copies to give to all coaches ofteams in which your child participates.

DO NOT EVER GIVE THE SCHOOL YOUR ORIGINAL COPY OF YOUR MEDICAL RECORDS!!!!!!

ALWAYS KEEP A COPY FOR YOURSELF AND MAKE ENOUGH COPIES FOR COACHES AS WELL.

WAIVERS:

For students who may not be vaccinated due to medical or religious reasons there is a new state policy requiring forms to be completed by both the doctor and the parent on an annual basis. The child will not be considered in compliance until these forms are completed as required by State of IllinoisPolicy.
