• The Immunization of School Pupils Act (ISPA) requires us to collect and review each student’s immunization record to make sure it’s complete and up to date for the child’s age.
• Throughout the year we send home “Immunization Notice” letters to let parents know that we are missing immunization information for their child. If you do not respond to this letter, students will then receive an “Order for Suspension from Attendance at School”.
• This law states students may be suspended from school until their immunization record is up to date with us.
The following vaccines are required under the law:
• Diphtheria
• Tetanus
• Polio
• Pertussis
• Measles
• Mumps
• Rubella
• Meningitis
• Varicella (Chickenpox) (see below)

The ISPA requires that all children born in 2010 and after have 2 doses of varicella vaccine by age 7. If your child had chickenpox after the age of one year that was confirmed by your health care provider, a medical exemption form can be completed by your doctor or nurse practitioner. If you are choosing to not have your child vaccinated for chickenpox, you are required to complete an affidavit (see below).
