Illinois School Code requires that all incoming ninth graders have a physical examination prior to their freshman year of high school. Students are required to provide proof of immunization for:
- Tetanus/Diphtheria/Pertussis (Dtap, DTP, TdaP)
- Polio • Hepatitis B • Measles/Mumps/Rubella (MMR)
- Varicella (unless proof of having disease)

The student’s original freshman physicals are kept on file in the Health Office and can be used for athletic participation. The original freshman physical examination must be completed on the Illinois Department of Human Services’ Certificate of Child Health Examination form, turned in during Onsite Registration or your student will not be allowed to begin the school year. You can obtain a copy of this form below.
A sports physical form does NOT qualify as a freshman physical and will NOT be accepted as such. If your student is participating in high school athletics prior to you completing Online Registration, please be sure to provide the Athletic Office with a copy of your student’s physical examination.
Please note the following on your student’s State of Illinois Physical Examination form:
- Health history must be completed, signed and dated by the parent or guardian.
- Immunization section must be completed, signed and dated by a doctor or the Health Department.
- The physical section must be completed, signed, and dated by a doctor.
