Students who are non-compliant in their physical and immunization requirements will not be allowed to attend school until state compliance is met. Required grades include Preschool/Early Childhood, Kindergarten, 6th, 9th, and 12th grade. 

• Vision exams for Kindergarten are required by October 15th, 2022.
• Dental exams for Kindergarten, 2nd, 6th and 9th grade are due by May 15th, 2023.

If you have completed physical and immunization forms, they can be submitted as a PDF scanned document via email to healthservices@u-46.org. Parents also have the option to upload their required health documents as a PDF through Infinite Campus during the registration process.

Forms can also be submitted directly to your child’s school or via email to the nurse within the school. Please contact the school health office for the email address of your school nurse.
