Immunization Requirements

The California School Immunization Law requires that children be up-to-date on their immunizations (shots) to attend school. Most children need booster shots before starting kindergarten.  Students must present documentation of complete immunizations before entry into a school.  Students shall be excluded from school or exempted from immunization requirements only as allowed by law.

Health Care for All Families

The California Department of Education wants to help families make sure they have access to health coverage.  To that end, they created a partnership with Covered California, the Children's Partnership ALL IN for Health and the California Coverage and Health Initiatives agency to help schools provide information about health care options. Please see More information (PDF). Additionally, you can visit All In For Health.

If you have further questions, you can ask our front school office.
