Health Requirements for School Enrollment

Immunizations

The State Immunization Board determines immunization requirements for school entry. Immunization records should be presented to the school staff at the time of enrollment. Please communicate promptly with school staff if your child has not completed the required immunizations.

 

 

 

Tuberculosis (TB) Testing
 
The Board of Education recognizes that tuberculosis poses a public health risk, and the treatment of active cases is the most effective means of controlling its spread. The district requires tuberculosis screening, with follow-up if necessary, before students enter school. All students enrolling in the district must provide proof of a recent TB risk assessment, with testing required if indicated.
 

Kindergarten Oral Health Exam Requirement

California law (EC 49452.8) requires children entering kindergarten or first grade, whichever is the child’s first year in public school, have an oral health exam and present a certificate signed by a licensed dentist or other licensed or registered dental health professional by May 31 of that school year. Oral health assessments that occurred within 12 months prior to school entry meet this requirement. If the child does not receive this exam, the parent must file a waiver stating the reason the certificate was not obtained.
