Oral Health Examinations

Dental Exam Now Required by the State of Illinois. As of July 1, 2005, a new State of Illinois law goes into effect requiring that all students in Kindergarten, second, and sixth grades have an oral health examination performed by a licensed dentist.  For this school year, the exam should be performed after May 15, 2005, and before May 15, 2006.

Following your child’s exam, please have your dentist fill out the form required by the State (available online at http://www.ncusd203.org/!health/forms/forms.shtml) and return it to the Health Office of his/her school no later than May 15, 2006. Exam forms are also available there.

In addition, if you need a referral to find a dentist or financial assistance to obtain your child’s exam, please contact your school’s Health Office for assistance from the nurse.

Physical Examinations

A physical examination is required for entrance into Preschool, Kindergarten, 5^th grade, 9^th grade, and/or when transferring from an out of state school. The health history portion of the physical examination form must be completed and signed by the parent in order for the physical to be valid.

Physical Examinations may be acquired through your primary medical provider. If you do not have a primary medical provider, you may contact your school nurse or the DuPage County Health Department for referrals to local health clinics that provide such services.

The Illinois Department of Public Health Physical Examination Form can be obtained from the “Forms” Section of this webpage.
