Upon registration, each parent/guardian is asked for verification of their child's immunization record. The record should include the following information

Immunization Waivers - SB277
Under a new California law effective January 2016, vaccines required for school may no longer be excused due to personal beliefs, including religious beliefs. Personal beliefs exemptions that have previously been filed for students in grades TK through 6th grade remain valid until the student reaches 7th grade. Only medical exemptions are accepted with a physician’s letter stating which immunizations are excluded and the exact reason why. Children who do not have all information on record or a letter may not attend school until all information is complete.
