Medical Compliance

Chicago Public Schools requires that your child is medically prepared to attend school. All students are required to have a complete record of all immunizations. If your child is not in medical compliance, you will receive a Health Services Needed Notice in the students email. I strongly recommend that you take notice to your healthcare provider to receive the appropriate medical services. Documentation from the provider must be emailed to the school. You can have your healthcare provider fax proof of your appointment and/or proof of medical services to Harold Washington Elementary School at (773) 535-6277. If your child is reporting to Pre-K, Kindergarten, Fifth, Sixth, and/or Eighth grade check with your healthcare provider to make sure they have complete immunization records.
The first date for compliance is Wednesday, September 15, 2021.
