    •  Immunization Requirements  –  Starting August 1, 2020, all immunization records turned into schools or child care centers are required by state law to be medically verified. Immunization records must be turned into the school on or before the first day of attendance. This means immunization records turned in to the school must be from a health care provider, or you must attach paperwork from a health care provider to your handwritten form that shows your child’s records are accurate.  Your child cannot attend school until you provide these records.  Please see more immunization information here.  For a complete list of immunization requirements for school, please access here.
