We need to know the answers to several questions. What is your child’s last day of school? Where are you moving to? Do you know the name of the school your child will be attending? Your child will be given an Illinois Transfer form, copy of physical/immunizations and a copy of the IEP (if pertains) on his/her last day in school.
