• The School Code of Illinois requires each child to have a  physical examination before entering sixth grade.

  • The District 102 expectation is that each 6th-grade student has a physical exam and record of immunizations on file in school before the first day of attendance. 

• All incoming 7th/8th graders wishing to participate in interscholastic sports at PJH will need a sports physical 

  • It is the expectation of La Grange School District 102 that all physicals/immunizations are completed by the 1st day of school.

 A health certificate to be completed by your service provider can be found on the district webpage under Health Services. Due to time limitations and increased demand for appointments for sports physicals, doctors’ offices frequently limit the number of appointments for sports exams or do not complete them after early August. Paperwork must be submitted to your school's health office

If you have any questions regarding the above requirements, please contact your school’s health office.

LaGrange Elementary School District 102, in collaboration with Helping Hand, is conducting a screening for children from birth to age 5. The purpose of the preschool screening is to assess those children whose parents have concerns about delays in their child’s development in any of the following areas: vision, hearing, speech and language, fine and gross motor skills, or cognitive development. This is not a general developmental screening, nor does it replace your child’s routine visits to the doctor. 

• 2 yrs 10 months to 5 years (5 before Sept. 1) - will be screened by District 102

• Birth to 2 yrs 10 months – will be screened by Helping Hand, in collaboration with District 102.

Parents are asked to complete a questionnaire for each child as the first step.  Based on the results, you will be notified if your child should attend a screening.  Screenings occur approximately every other month. Depending on the results of the screening, your child could potentially be considered for the following:

• Early Intervention Services (Birth to 3) if determined by Helping Hand

• Vision and hearing referrals to your private practitioner (Ages 3-5)

• Fine and gross motor recommendation for home activities

• Pre-Kindergarten At-Risk Programs – programs providing school for children ages 3-5 determined to be at-risk for achieving educational success.  

• Early Childhood Special Education – screening team will refer children identified as experiencing significant developmental delays for further evaluation to determine eligibility for special education services.

Screening dates- All screenings held at Barnsdale Road School, 920 Barnsdale Road, La Grange Park, unless noted:  9/18, 1/29 and rolling dates as needed

To request a questionnaire, please call: 708-215-6826.

Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month (AAPI Heritage Month) is an annual celebration that recognizes the historical and cultural contributions of individuals and groups of Asian and Pacific Islander descent to the United States. The month of May was chosen for AAPI Heritage Month because it commemorates the immigration of the first Japanese people to the United States on May 7, 1843. May is also a significant month because it recognizes Golden Spike Day, May 10, 1869, which marks the completion of the transcontinental railroad that was built with significant contributions from Chinese workers.

The 1965 Immigration and Nationality Act changed restrictive national origin quotas and allowed for the large numbers of Asians and Pacific Islanders to come to the United States with their families. In the mid-1970s, refugees from Southeast Asia like Vietnam, Cambodia, and Laos came to the United States to flee war, violence, and hardship.

Today, Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders are the fastest growing racial group in the United States. AAPI Heritage Month celebrates the unique journey of all AAPI immigrants and citizens in the United States and their unique life experiences, traditions and cultures
