Immunization and Physical Requirements
State Law requires written evidence of physical examinations, including age-appropriate developmental screening, and social-emotional screening, for all students registering for the first time and the grade levels below. Immunizations for Polio, Diphtheria, Tetanus, Pertussis, Measles, Rubella, Hepatitis B, Varicella, and one dose of Meningococcal vaccine are also required. Proof of immunity shall be documented evidence of having received a vaccine or proof of disease verified by a healthcare provider. (Section 655.250) The only waiver of evidence of immunizations is through written objection that these requirements conflict with religious tenets or practices, or that the physical condition of the child is such that compliance would be a hazard to the health of the child. Proof of examinations must be submitted prior to October 15 of the school year. New students to the district registering after October 15 will have 30 days from the date of registration to submit all medical examination records required.
