HELPFUL TIPS TO ENSURE YOUR CHILD IS HEALTH AND SUCCESSFUL IN SCHOOL

Ensure that your child is:

At school on time every morning
Gets 8-10 hours of sleep every night
Eats breakfast every single morning
Wears their glasses or contacts as recommended by their doctor
Meets all State of California immunization requirements

IMMUNIZATION INFORMATION

State law and district policy require students to be immunized for school entry in order to prevent the spread of communicable diseases (Health and Safety Code 120325-120380). Before your student may begin school, immunization records showing the student is up to date must be submitted and reviewed by the school nurse. For entry into 7th grade and when your student reaches age 13, additional requirements for DTap and Varicella (chickenpox) are necessary.

SB 277 has eliminated the Personal Belief Exemption (PBE) so that incoming students and continuing students reaching 7th grade may no longer submit a PBE to be exempt from immunization requirements. If your student is medically unable to receive immunizations, a medical exemption, signed by a physician or D.O., is acceptable. Continuing students who already have a PBE on file are grandfathered in.
