Medical Forms Required for All Students:  The Joffrey Academy of Dance requires all students to have a Medical Exam and Medical Waiver on file in order to participate in Joffrey Academy programming, with the exception of students in the Adult Division. This is for the safety of the student and the Joffrey Academy of Dance. Students who do not have all medical forms on file by their first class will be permitted to attend and observe class, however, will not be able to dance. Students may begin participating fully in classes once all medical forms have been submitted. Medical Exams must have been completed and signed within twelve (12) months of August 31 the year the student is registered for Joffrey Academy programming. Students who are still missing forms after two (2) weeks of being enrolled in Joffrey Academy programming will be un-registered from said programming. Forms only need to be submitted once per school year. New forms must be submitted at the start of each fall or at the time the new student joins the Joffrey Academy of Dance. Blank copies of the Joffrey Medical Waiver and an Illinois State Medical Form can be found linked in the submission form. To find them, hover your mouse over the part of the form where you upload your files and the link will appear to the right. They are only accessible on a laptop or desktop computer and not on a mobile device. The Medical Exam does not have to be the Illinois State Medical Exam provided. The Joffrey Academy of Dance will accept any medical exam form provided and completed by a licensed medical professional. Students and families may find the submission form linked in the Student and Families Handbook.

To participate in Joffrey Academy programming, all students MUST submit a Medical Care Waiver and Medical Exam Form by their first class.
