At the
time of registration, parents/guardians must complete a
Proof of Residency form as well as provide the documents
noted above. If a student is enrolled with
misrepresented information and is found not to be a
resident of the district, they will be dropped
immediately from district attendance rolls. Non-resident
students may attend district schools only if approved in
advance by the superintendent and by prepaying the
non-resident tuition fee of 110 percent of the
district’s student per capita cost. This rate is set by
the State School Code.
Complete Your Child’s
Immunizations by Registration Day
In
compliance with the Illinois School Code, Benjamin
District 25 requires that all students entering
kindergarten and fifth grade have a physical examination,
performed by a physician licensed to practice medicine
in all its branches, within one year of the start of
school. Proof of required immunizations must be
recorded on the State of Illinois Certificate of Child
Health form.
Students who do not have required immunizations
completed at the time must have a schedule for
immunization completion and a signed physician statement
of medical reasons for the delay. These documents are to
be presented at the time of registration. Failure to
present these documents will result in the student being
excluded from school.
In
addition, all students entering Benjamin District 25
from a school not located in the State of Illinois must
present proof of a physical examination performed within
one year of entry and a record of all required
immunizations, regardless of grade.
All
immunizations must be given at required intervals. Due
to a current shortage of the Diphtheria-Tetanus vaccine
(DT), you may experience difficulty obtaining the
required boosters for your child. If your physician
cannot provide the vaccine, a note stating that the DT
booster is being deferred due to lack of vaccine
availability must accompany the physical form.
Students unable to receive DT boosters due to vaccine
unavailability will be allowed to attend classes until
the district receives state notice of vaccine
availability. Students will then have 30 days to present
proof of vaccine administration. All other vaccines must
be in compliance with state requirements to attend
school.
Current immunization requirements include:
PRESCHOOL:
Diphtheria, Tetanus, Whooping
Cough (DPT) - 4 doses
Polio Vaccine – 3 doses
Measles, Mumps and Rubella (MMR)
– 1 dose after 12 months of age
Hepatitis B – 3 doses
HIB – number of doses depends
on age given and type of vaccine used
Tuberculin test – recommended,
but not required
KINDERGARTEN:
Varcilla
DPT – 5 doses with the fifth
dose given after the 4th birthday
Polio Vaccine – 4 doses with
the 4th dose given after the 4th
birthday
MMR – first dose after one year of age and a
booster prior to kindergarten entrance. If the first
dose was given before the first birthday, it does not
count and two additional doses need to be given.
Tuberculin test – recommended,
but not required
FIFTH GRADE
Hepatitis B – 3 doses with the
first two doses one month apart while the third dose is
administered four to six months after the first dose.
Tuberculin test – recommended,
but not required
Questions concerning your child’s
immunizations may be directed to the Benjamin District
25 nurse, at 876-7810 or 876-7820.

Physicals are Mandatory For Participation
District 25 policy requires that all students who wish
to participate in extra-curricular sports activities
have a physical examination, signed by a physician
licensed to practice medicine in all its branches,
approving the child’s participation. Proof of a physical
must be on file in the school office one day prior to
the start of tryouts for any sport. A student, who
does not meet this requirement by the due date noted
above, will be ineligible to tryout for or
participate in the activity.
Students trying out for soccer or volleyball in August
must turn in their physicals at registration on Aug. 15
or sooner. Sports physicals may be turned in at the
Administration Center during the summer.
Sports physicals are valid
for one year from the date the physical is performed.
