Hinsdale South and other Darien, IL schools: what Illinois asks for
We see Darien, IL students from Hinsdale South and other schools before each school year. The Illinois Department of Public Health (IDPH) sets the same rules for every public, private and parochial school in the state.
A health exam within one year before entering kindergarten or first grade
A health exam on entering sixth grade and again on entering ninth grade
A health exam before entering any preschool
A health exam when a child enrolls in a new school, at any grade
Proof turned in before October 15 of that school year, or earlier if the school asks
The exam goes on the IDPH Certificate of Child Health Examination, which also records vaccines. The CDC schedule lists booster shots at ages 4 to 6 and Tdap and meningococcal vaccines at ages 11 to 12, so the kindergarten and sixth-grade visits are when shots most often come due. See our school physicals page.

What happens if my athlete is not cleared at the visit?
Not cleared yet usually means follow-up first, not a permanent no. The clinician explains the concern, such as a new heart murmur, high blood pressure or a concussion that has not been cleared, and what the next step is. That is why the AAP suggests going 6 to 8 weeks before the season.
