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 Illinois Policy.
DO NOT EVER GIVE THE SCHOOL YOUR ORIGINAL COPY OF YOUR MEDICAL RECORDS
ALWAYS KEEP A COPY FOR YOURSELF
Physical exams are only required for medical compliance in 9th grade and first entrance to CPS. 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 of teams in which your child participates.
