Immunizations

Beginning fall of 2014, all students entering, transferring or advancing into kindergarten through 12th grades will be required to show proof of receipt of two doses of mumps and two doses of rubella vaccine. In addition, students entering, transferring or advancing into kindergarten, 6th or 9th grades are required to show proof of receipt of two doses of varicella vaccine. Most students likely have already received the vaccine and simply need to provide the school with verifying documentation from their health care provider. See the attached letters and posters for more information.
