STEP 3: Obtain copies of immunization records
A copy of your child’s complete immunization records must be uploaded. A list of the required immunizations to enter kindergarten can be found below.
Required Immunization Records:
  • Four basic doses of (DPT) Diphtheria, Pertussis (Whooping Cough), and Tetanus. (Please note that the 4th dose must be administered on or after the child’s 4th birthday.
  • Four doses of (OPV)or (IPV) Oral Polio Vaccine. (The 4th dose must be administered on or after the child's 4th birthday, and at least 6 months after the last dose)
  • Three doses of Hepatitis B.
  • Two doses of (MMR) Measles, Mumps and German Measles (Rubella).
  • Two doses of Varivax (Varicella/Chicken Pox Vaccine) or proof of disease.
Please note that even though two doses of MMR are required to enter school in the fall; your registration will be considered complete in March as long as your child has had at least the first dose. The second dose is usually given at your child’s five-year check-up, which will take place during the summer prior to entrance in August.
 
STEP 4: Complete online application and submit
Your child's registration is only considered complete if all online forms are submitted and you have provided a completed list of your child’s immunizations, original documentation of birth, and proof of residency.
