Students entering certain grades have health requirements they have to meet before the first day of the 2024-25 school year. For students entering kindergarten, 6th, and 9th grade, this requires a physical exam and certain immunizations; 12th graders must be up to date on their meningococcal vaccine. You can see those requirements here, and forms were mailed to homes of the impacted students the week of May 13. 

Health requirements are due on or before the first day of school, Aug. 13, 2024. Students will NOT be permitted to attend class if they do NOT have these requirements on file by the first day of school.

Also, teacher assignments for elementary students and schedules for middle and high school students are expected to be released online in mid-July through the Infinite Campus Registration Checklist.  However, they will be released only to students who are fully registered by that date, and that includes submitting the necessary health records. 

How to submit forms 

Once you have the necessary forms completed by your physician, proof of completed student physical and immunizations, can be submitted any one of these ways:

• Upload the required health documents as a PDF through Infinite Campus during the registration process.
• Send via email a PDF scanned document to healthservices@u-46.org. The original documents must be scanned, saved and sent as a PDF. There are free scanning apps available for mobile phones, such as Microsoft Office Lens, or if you have an iPhone, here are directions on scanning using your “notes” app. (Note: Pictures/photos of the documents cannot be accepted.) 
• Fax the original documents to 847-888-5320 where our summer team will process the forms. 
• Drop off the documents at the U-46 Educational Services Center, 355 E. Chicago Street in Elgin, or at the Health Services office at 1555 Larkin Ave. in Elgin on Monday through Friday, between 8 a.m. and 4 p.m. 
• Health secretaries will accept health forms on select days this summer at each of the District's five high schools from 7 a.m. to 3 p.m. 
  • For Larkin, Elgin, Bartlett and South Elgin High Schools -  June 25, July 2, July 9, July 16, July 17 and July 23 
  • For Streamwood High School - June 25-27, July 16-18, and July 23-25 

Our Health Services team is processing health forms as they are submitted this summer. But if you believe you have already submitted forms, or if your child is in the process of receiving the necessary immunizations, please contact our Health Services team with questions or concerns. They can be reached at 847-888-5000 ext. 5334, via email at healthservices@u-46.org, or by using Let’s Talk.
