Required Immunization Information

Due to state requirements, all schools are required to report the immunization status of all 6th grade students at the beginning of each school year.

Required for all children entering kindergarten, all 6th grade students, and all children changing school districts:
• Two doses of Varicella vaccine or history of chickenpox disease

Required for all children 11-18 years of age who are changing school districts or who are enrolled in the 6th grade:
• One dose of Meningococcal vaccine
• One dose of tetanus/diphtheria/accellular pertussis (Tdap) vaccine (if it has been 5 years since last dose of tetanus/diphtheria vaccine).

Please check your incoming 6th grade child’s immunization records to ensure he/she has the correct doses. Documentation of this information is required before your 5th grade student may enter the 6th grade. Failure to submit this documentation will result in your child NOT being able to start school on the first day of the 2011-12 school year.
If your child is lacking any immunizations, please have them completed and provide documentation to the SCMS Office before the start of school.

If you have any questions regarding this matter, please contact the SCMS Office.
