    What does First Day Exclusion mean?

    First-day exclusion is when students who do not have an updated Illinois School Physical and Immunization record on file with the school are "excluded" or not allowed to attend school. Students entering PK, Kindergarten, 6th, 9th and 12th grades are all affected. If you have questions about your student and their status please contact our office or your student's school.
