District Information / New Student Registration

Illinois law requires physical exams for all students entering school. New enrollees from outside the State of Illinois have thirty days to present an exam that is less than a year old on a form comparable to the Illinois Certificate of Child Health Examination. A complete record of all immunizations is required, as well. Students who have transferred from within Illinois must present up to date health records upon registration in order to begin attending Hawthorn schools.


The nurse at each building reviews these records and notifies parents of any health records which are not in compliance with the Illinois School Code.


Since Illinois immunization requirements may differ from other states or countries, we work closely with families to help them complete the requirements so that their child may attend school.


Please contact the nurse in your child’s building if you need assistance in locating a health provider or see the listing in this website under Local Health Clinics

District Information / Immunizations

The Illinois State Board of Education School Code requires:

Any child entering a school program must show proof of having received at least three doses of DPT or DT, with the last dose having been given on or after the fourth birthday. There must be at least six weeks between the first and second doses and at least six months between the second and third doses.

A tetanus booster is due ten years after the last booster.

Any child entering a school program must show proof of having received three doses of polio vaccine, with the last one being administered on or after the fourth birthday. The first two must be at least six weeks apart, and the third one must have been administered on or after the fourth birthday.

Children entering school at any grade level, K - 12 must show proof of having received two doses of live measles vaccine. The first must have been given at or after one year of age, usually as part of the MMR, and the second, no less than a month later. Proof of disease, verified by a doctor, is acceptable in place of immunization.

Any child entering school at any grade level must show proof of having received one dose of rubella vaccine, usually as part of the MMR, given on or after the first birthday. Laboratory evidence (blood test) of antibody titer of 1:16 or greater is acceptable, in place of the vaccine. Reported history of disease is not acceptable proof of immunity.

Any child entering a school program at any grade level must show proof of having received one dose of mumps vaccine, usually as part of the MMR, given on or after the first birthday. Proof of disease, verified by doctor, is acceptable.

Any child entering a school program below the kindergarten level OR entering fifth grade or later is required to be immunized for Hepatitis B. This is a series of three vaccines, given over a period of six months, with at least one month between the first and second doses. This series should be started in the school year prior to the requirement because of the length of time needed to complete the series.

All children less than five years old entering a program below the kindergarten level must show proof of having received one dose of Hib vaccination, given on or after 15 months of age. The Hib is NOT required for children in grades K-12.

As of July 1, 2002, any child entering a preschool or kindergarten program is required to have the Varicella (chicken pox) vaccine or provide written documentation of having had the disease.

Mantoux Method. Recommended testing at entry into school.


Additional information is available from the State of Illinois’ Child Health Examination Code.

District Information / Medications

Medication may be administered in school by the nurse with a written request from the child’s parents and physician. This includes all prescription medications, inhalers, and all over the counter medications, including such things as Tylenol or allergy preparations. Written orders from the physician and parent are required for any changes during the school year. These medication orders must be renewed each school year.


Medications must be brought to school in the purchased container or prescription bottle with the correct dosage and labeling. Parents should bring the medications to school unless other arrangements are made, in advance, with the Nurse. Any medications not picked up at the end of the year will be discarded.


You can download the Medication Administration Form or obtain it from the Nurse at your child’s school.


For students with specific health needs, please download and complete any of the applicable management plans and return them to your school nurse.

District Information / Vision / Hearing

Illinois State law requires that schools screen students for vision problems in kindergarten, second, and eighth grades, as well as all new students, teacher or parent referrals, and students who receive special education services.


Hearing screening is required for students in kindergarten, 1st, 2nd, and 3rd grades, as well as for students receiving special education services, new students, and teacher or parent referrals.


The Nurses notify parents if results indicate that a student ‘s vision or hearing needs further evaluation. Financial assistance is available to families that do not have health insurance. Please ask the Nurse in your child’s building for information.
