New Student Health Requirements

When a student enrolls in a school corporation for the first time or any subsequent time and at any level, his parents must show either that he has been immunized or that a current religious or medical objection is on file. Parents must provide the school corporation with complete immunization records prior to the beginning of the school year.

Minimum Immunization requirements for students enrolled at kindergarten and grade one and less than 7 years of age (must be complete when school opens in the fall):

5 doses of diphtheria-tetanus-acellular pertussis (DTaP), Diphtheria-tetanus-pertussis (DPT), pediatric diphtheria-tetanus vaccine (DT) or 4 doses are acceptable if the 4th dose was administered on or after the 4th birthday; (under 7 years of age)
