Topics of discussion at the fair will include:

The Resource Fair will also offer opportunities for families to connect with health services for health exams and sports physicals, according to a news release.

• Back-to-School Health Exams & Immunizations: Students entering kindergarten and 6th grade, and those who are new to Illinois schools must submit a health form before the start of school. The Ronald McDonald Caremobile (Advocate Health) will be at the Resource Fair to provide physicals and immunizations for D34 students who do not have insurance or receive Medicaid benefits. If local students need physical and immunizations and meet those requirements,they should fill out this form in advance (Spanish).
• Sports Physicals: Middle school students who wish to participate in sports must have a sports physical form on file with the school health office before practice. If you have not yet made an appointment for students for a sports physical, and local parents do not have a family doctor, NorthShore University Healthsystem can provide assistance. The NorthShore representatives at the fair will schedule an appointment for your child between 1-4:30 pm on August 27 at NorthShore’s location at 211 Waukegan Road in Northfield (across from Sunset Village).
