2010-2011 School Year Calendar

The 2010-11 basic school year calendar is posted on this web site.  Click on the CALENDAR link.

 

Illinois law affecting 5th grade physicals changed effective the 2008-09 school year. The required 5th grade physical exam has been moved to 6th grade.  To accommodate the transition year 5th graders for 08-09 do not need a physical; those students will be required to have a physical for the 09-10 school year.

 

For the 2010-11 school year:

    • a student entering 5th grade will need a sports physical if playing sports;
    • all 6th grade students will need a standard school physical;
    • a student entering 6th grade will not need a sports physical if playing sports because their 6th grade school physical counts;
    • comprehensive eye exams for children entering kindergarten or enrolling for the first time in public, private, or parochial elementary schools in Illinois; dental exams are required for students entering kindergarten, 2nd and 6th grades.

 

NEW ILLINOIS STATE LAW REQUIRES COMPREHENSIVE EYE EXAMS FOR CHILDREN STARTING SCHOOL

 

The new law, effective January 1, 2008, requires comprehensive eye exams for children entering kindergarten or enrolling for the first time in public, private, or parochial elementary schools in Illinois.  Children will be required to have the eye exam performed only by qualified eye doctors--such as optometrists and ophthalmologists. The law calls for the eye exam to take place within one  year prior to kindergarteners starting school in the fall and for all students who are entering school for the first time in Illinois.  Proof of the eye exam must be submitted by October 15 of each school year.

 

The financial aid application for the 10-11 school year is available in a downloadable file.  Click on FORMS & DOCUMENTS.  Application deadline is May 15.

Registration packets for families new to the school can be picked up from the school office.
