Please contact your health care provider to insure your child has what they need to attend school in September, and make an appointment as needed. Completed immunization records may be dropped off, mailed or faxed to your child’s school.
Religious or medical exemptions to these requirements must be submitted to the school in writing and approved by the school district.
Please call your school nurse with any questions or concerns.
