Kindergarten students are required to have Hepatitis B immunizations and Varicella is required for all out of state entrants. After a student s 7 th birthday, a DPT/DTaP booster shot is required to enter grades 7 12. Parents should call their doctor s office to schedule the student s appointment if the District has not yet received the required immunization documentation. Parents or guardians of students in any California school, private or public, are no longer able to submit a personal belief exemption for required vaccines. Only a permanent medical exemption from a licensed physician is allowed. Please see the table on the following page for more information (SB277). For additional information, please go to www.shotsforschool.org. First grade students must have a health screening within the first 90 days of entrance into first grade. Students must submit an up-to-date immunization record at the time of enrollment. A certificate stating that the child received a health checkup within the previous 18 months is acceptable. AB 1433, The Oral Health Assessment, requires that children entering public school for the first time in TK, K, or first grade have a dental check-up by May 31. Dental evaluations that have happened within the 12 months prior to school entry meet this requirement. Students whose immunization records have not been verified by the school nurse CANNOT BE ENROLLED. Students cannot be allowed to attend school until their immunization records are in compliance with the California s legal requirements. Page 1 of 7
