Opening Day for the 2017-2018 School Year Tuesday, August 15, 2017 for all schools in Lompoc Unified School District GENERAL REGISTRATION INFORMATION ALL STUDENTS - GRADES K-12 PARENTS OR GUARDIANS MUST ACCOMPANY STUDENTS WHEN REGISTERING IMMUNIZATION INFORMATION California law requires that all school children be immunized against Polio, Diphtheria, Pertussis and Tetanus (DPT), Measles, Mumps and Rubella (MMR), and Varicella (Varicella is required if enrolled for the first time after July 1, 2001). Additionally, Kindergarten students are required to have Hepatitis B immunizations. Varicella is also required for all out of state entrants in grades 1-12 or to show physician documentation of having the disease. All 7 th - 12 th grade students receive a whooping cough booster shot, called Tdap, before entering school. Parents should call their doctor s office to schedule the student=s appointment if we have not yet received required documentation for the student. New Law (SB 277) effective in 2016: Parents or guardians of students in any California school, private or public, will no longer be able to submit a personal belief exemption to currently required vaccines. Only a medical exemption from or by a Doctor will be allowed. Please go to www.shotsforschool.org for more information. First grade students must have had health screening within the prior 18 months or less as specified by the State of California, Department of Health Services, on their form entitled Report of Health Examination for School Entry that is available at school sites and in your doctor s office. Students must submit an up-to-date immunization record. New legislation for a Kindergarten Oral Health Check began January 1, 2007. This requires that children have a dental check-up by May 31 of their first year in public school, at Transitional Kindergarten or first grade. Dental evaluations that have happened within the 12 months prior to school entry also meet this requirement. Students whose immunization records have not been verified by the school nurse WILL NOT BE ENROLLED OR READMITTED. They will not be allowed to attend school for the 2017-18 school year until their immunization records are in compliance with the law. KINDERGARTEN / TRANSITIONAL KINDERGARTEN (TK) Children entering Kindergarten must be five years of age on or before September 1, 2017. The District will offer Transitional Kindergarten at all school sites for children who turn 5 years old between September 2, 2017 and December 2, 2017. Children who turn 5 years old between December 3, 2017 and June 30, 2018 may apply for enrollment by submitting a transitional kindergarten application to the District Office. Applications will be placed on a waiting list that will be prioritized by birth date. Page 1 of 6
