Diamond Lake SD 76 warns families: Oct. 15 is deadline for health forms and immunizations

Diamond Lake SD 76 notified families that Oct. 15 is a firm deadline for required health documentation for certain students. "El detalle crucial aquí es justamente el 15 de octubre," the district presenter said, identifying preschoolers, kindergartners, 6th-graders and any student new to Illinois schools as those who must have a recent physical and current vaccinations on file.

The presenter said students without completed records by Oct. 15 "no podrán entrar a la escuela" and will be prevented from attending classes or school activities. Families who already have a medical appointment scheduled may provide written proof of that appointment to the school nursing office before the deadline to avoid immediate exclusion. The district did not specify the exact form names or the office hours for submission.
