TDAP SHOTS REQUIRED FOR 2017-2018

California law requires that ALL incoming 7th graders must have the "Tdap" booster prior to starting school this fall for the 2017-2018 school year. Students who have not received their Tdap booster will NOT be allowed to start school in August 2017..

New state law SB277 states that personal and religious beliefs exemptions (or waivers) are no longer valid. Those students with waivers signed during elementary school must now meet ALL school immunization requirements, including Tdap, for 7th grade.

No Shots? No Record? No school.

Children will not be enrolled unless an immunization record is presented and immunizations are up-to-date.*

*If your child is unimmunized due to religious, personal or medical reasons, please notify us. California started on January 1, 2016, exemptions based on personal beliefs, including religious beliefs, are no longer allowed.
