School Health Requirements 2022-2023

Please confirm that you have these completed!

Please note that it is a family's responsibility to make sure their student is up to date on immunizations - even if they have not received a notice from the school.  Please check your student's record and compare with the requirements below. If you are missing any required immunizations or any doses of the required immunizations, please make an appointment with your clinic as soon as possible so that your student is not denied entry to school in August. If you are unsure, check with your student's clinic. If you do not have a clinic, please call (628) 217-6730 to register for all languages using interpreter services as soon as possible.
