*If none of the above documents are obtainable, an affidavit of birth must be signed by the parent/guardian.
2. Verification of Immunizations -
Required immunizations (shots or vaccinations). All students must have documentation on file showing they are up to date on immunizations, or they may not be able to attend school. Bring the immunization record at the time of enrollment. The following immunizations are required for school entry:
K-12 students
✓ Diphtheria, Tetanus, and Pertussis (DTaP, DTP, Tdap, or Td) — 5 doses (4 doses OK if one was given on or after 4th birthday. 3 doses OK if one was given on or after 7th birthday)
✓ Polio (OPV or IPV) — 4 doses (3 doses OK if one was given on or after 4th birthday)
✓ Hepatitis B — 3 doses (not required for 7th grade entry)
✓ Measles, Mumps, and Rubella (MMR) — 2 doses (first dose given on or after 1st birthday)
✓ Varicella (chickenpox) — 2 doses
Students entering 7-12 grade
✓ Tetanus, Diphtheria, Pertussis (Tdap) —1 dose
✓ Varicella (chickenpox) — 2 doses
- Please note that the TK-12 immunization requirements apply to 7th graders who previously had a valid personal beliefs exemption (PBE) filed in California before 2016. Pre-existing PBEs expire upon entering 7th grade and, therefore, the student is required to meet the TK-12 requirements.
Exemptions:
- Personal belief or religious exemptions are no longer accepted. Valid medical exemptions are acceptable.
- Medical exemptions must be submitted through CAIR-ME for any vaccine that is contraindicated
For medical exemption:
Please see the CDPH website has a FAQ sheet for guidance.
For religious or personal belief exemptions:
As of January 1, 2016, the California Health and Safety Code Sec. 120335 (b) states that a private or public elementary or secondary school shall not admit a student unless the student has been fully immunized. Since the change in the law, exemptions for religious or other personal beliefs are no longer an option for the required vaccines for entry into school in California.
3. Proof of Residency (TWO of the following are required) - Document must be dated within 30 days :
✓ Gas, Water, Electric, rent receipt or a lease agreement. Bill must have parent’s name and date on the document. If unable to provide proof of residence, ask for an Affidavit of residence and return with a proof of address of person who signed the affidavit.
All children who reside in the United States are guaranteed access to a free public education. No family will be denied access to school because of their immigration status.
4. Oral Health Assessment:
