IMPORTANT INFORMATION FROM THE NURSE
Attention Parents of 5th Graders
The Illinois State Board of Education in conjunction with the Illinois Department of Public Health require
that all students entering 6th grade show proof of receiving mandated vaccinations, in addition to receiving
a physical exam, and a dental exam. Please make certain that your child receives the required
immunizations and that they are recorded on his/her immunization record. These completed
requirements (vaccinations, physical exam, and dental exam) will ensure that your student will be ready
to start at Westfield Middle School in the fall of 2018. If you have any questions, please contact the district
nurse, Beth Jones, RN, PEL-CSN at Westfield (630.671.5315).
Physicians’ and dentists’ offices are often busy during the summer months so please make your
appointments early. The completed forms may be sent to the school’s health office or dropped off in
the Medical Forms Drop Box in the main office in your student’s building.
Attention Parents of 1st Graders
Illinois School Code requires that all 2nd graders present proof of having been examined by a dentist. If you have any questions, please contact your building nurse at your child’s school.
Physicians’ and dentists’ offices are often busy during the summer months so please make your
appointments early. The completed forms may be sent to the school’s health office or dropped off in
