2025-2026 Health Requirements

Good evening West Prairie Families,

Below is information regarding the State of Illinois Health Requirements for the upcoming 2025-2026 school year. The requirements are listed by grade level. The State of Illinois requires all students be compliant with these requirements in order to attend an Illinois public school. We ask that you take care of meeting these requirements before school starts on August 13. The McDonough County Health Department can help meet the immunization requirements.

Any student who is not in compliance with these requirements will NOT be able to attend school beginning Tuesday, September 2 until ALL required information is received, so please take care of this and get the documentation to Mrs. Burling as soon as possible.

All new students entering an Illinois school for the first time are required to have a complete physical with an updated immunization record, dental exam, vision exam, and a certified copy of their birth certificate.

Any student who will be playing sports this school year, must have an up-to-date sports physical. Memorial Medical Clinic will be offering walk-in sports physicals on the following date:

Date: July 22, 2025
Time: 1:00 PM – 4:30 PM
Location: Memorial Medical Clinic Colchester
Address: 110 Market Street, Colchester, IL
Phone Number: (309) 776-3301

Cost of sports physicals is $10 (cash or check only please). All proceeds will benefit the school's athletic department where the student attends school.

If you have any questions regarding medical requirements, please contact Kortney Burling at burlingk@wp103.org or Paula Markey at markeyp@wp103.org.

Thank you for helping us to ensure your child and the District are in compliance with these requirements.

With Gratitude,

Paula Markey
Interim Superintendent
