Attention CMSF Parents/Guardians: You must provide the school with your student's updated immunization records, physicals, proof of an eye exam, and proof of a dental exam by October 15. The ISBE recently released the following statement:
The COVID-19 pandemic has presented many challenges to routine medical care, causing many children to fall behind on scheduled immunizations. In order to protect individuals and communities from vaccine-preventable diseases and to prepare for the return to school, medical providers are urging parents to make appointments to resume necessary immunizations. At this time, all child-health related requirements for school attendance remain in effect for children in public, private, or parochial schools, as per 105 ILCS 5/27-8.1. Documentation of required health-related examinations and immunization requirements for students, including applicable exemptions or appointments allowed by law, is required to be filed with school districts by October 15 or an earlier specified date as determined by the district (to include a required 60 days prior notice).
If a family has not ensured a child’s timely compliance with health examination or immunization requirements, the child may be provided e-learning or remote instruction, provided instruction is solely by remote means and he/she does not have a physical presence on school grounds (either before, during or after school).
If you have not provided the school with your child's/young adult's updated immunization records, physicals, proof of an eye exam, and proof of a dental exam by October 15, they will have to be a remote learner until all the required information has been given to the school.
Please contact the school at (618) 994-2413 and ask for Mrs. Shaina Craig, if you have any questions.
