Immunizations & Health Forms

California schools are required to check immunization records for all new student admissions for TK/Kindergarten through 12th grade and all students advancing to 7th grade before entry. Parents must show their child's immunization record as proof of immunization.

Students New to the District
If you are registering your child as a new student, please submit a copy during your registration or email a copy to [email protected]. Your child will not be able to attend school unless all state-required immunizations have been met.

Required Immunizations for TK-8th Grade:

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.) For 7th-12th graders, at least 1 dose of pertussis-containing vaccine is required on or after 7th birthday.
