• All Illinois students upon first entry into an Illinois school are required to present proof of an eye examination performed by a licensed optometrist or medical doctor who performs eye examinations. The exam must be current or have been completed within the 12 months prior to October 15th of the current school year. The Illinois School Code permits the District to hold a student’s report card if this requirement is not met. If you feel that your child is exempt from the vision examination requirements, please complete and return the Eye Examination Waiver form.
