I’m state trial court level _ there are three levels in Illinois
(1) trial court (where all evidence comes into record from testimony exhibits etc),
(2)appellate court (we are 4th district and it’s appellate judges who just review what trial court judges do and determine if we got it wrong or right- appellate courts do not hear from witnesses or get evidence. It’s all review based on written briefs)
(3)Illinois Supreme Court- also a reviewing court for constitutional issues and to decide issues that different appellate courts cannot decide on).
District 186 families!
Any pre -k , kindergarten, 6th grade, 9th grade, 12th grade and new students to District 186 - please turn in your child's proof of physical and immunization information as soon as possible.
If your child’s physical and immunizations have not yet been turned in or scheduled, your child will be excluded from school on September 6, 2022.
Because of the demand for appointments and immunization in our community, the Board of Education is allowing school nurses to accept documentation of your child’s scheduled physical and immunizations so that they may remain in school. This documentation of an appointment must be brought to the school on Sept. 6 in order for a student to remain.
Appointments must be scheduled between now and October 14, 2022. After October 15 all students who do not have proper documentation of completed immunizations and physicals will be excluded from school.
If you have any questions, please contact your child’s school.
Please turn in your physical and immunization forms ASAP! It is very important to make sure your student's records are up to date with your school. Students without their information turned in will be excluded from school starting September 6th.
