A Certificate of Child Health Examination (Certificate of Child Health Examination - Spanish) is to be completed by your family physician. Appointments can be made in the spring for the physical examinations since doctors’ offices are very busy in August and may not have openings for physicals. Illinois State Law requires that this must be on file at your child’s school BEFORE your child may start school. If your child has not fulfilled their health requirements prior to the time of registration, you are required to show proof of appointment (taking place prior to the first day of school).
