St. John of God is included in the jurisdiction of the L.A. County Health Department. Immunizations according to state or county requirements are required on first admission to school. State regulations demand that each Kindergarten student and any new student have a California Immunization Record on file. In some cases, the information required on this form might be repetitious to that of the School Health Record, but it is necessary to complete both. Failure to provide the requested verification will result in your child being excluded from entering school until this requirement is fulfilled.
First graders must have a Report or Diagnostic Examination and School Certificate on file. Forms are available in the office.
Students who attended St. John of God last year need only to have cards kept current. If the student has received any immunization during the summer, or there is any additional information that should be listed on the health card, please bring dates and/or information with you when you register your child/children.
