We encourage parents and guardians to vaccinate their children on time to protect them from vaccine preventable diseases. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, children may be behind on their vaccines or well-checks with their doctor.
Schools require immunizations for enrollment regardless if students are attending online or in person.
