Immunization requirements for school attendance vary by grade level. The requirements for difference grade levels address the following immunizations:

• Meningococcal vaccine
  • All students entering grades 7 and 12 must have the meningococcal vaccine in order to attend school.
• MMR
• TDaP
  • Students entering grade 6 must receive the TDaP vaccine in order to attend school. 
• Polio
• Varicella (chicken pox)
• Hepatitis B

Medical exemptions to immunizations must be reissued annually; and must specify the immunization exempted, sufficient information to identify the medical contraindication to the specific immunization, and the length of time the immunization is medically contraindicated. A sample medical exemption form is available.

The best way to assure your child is in compliance with these new requirements is to contact your child's health care provider prior to the start of school in September. 

The Health Office will send notification letters to parents of children needing vaccinations to be in compliance with school requirements.

Questions regarding immunizations should be directed to the school nurses, Michelle Holley and Terry Smith.
