Immunizations

     Each student should have the immunization required by law or  have an authorized waiver.  If a student does not have the necessary shots or waivers, the Principal may remove the student or require compliance with a set deadline.  This is for the safety of all students and in accordance with State law.  Any questions about immunizations or waivers should be directed to the Principal. 

*If the District conducts a preschool or day-care program, all children must be in accordance with the regulations provided by the State Health Department.
