Effective January 1, 2016, Personal Beliefs Exemptions will no longer be an option for the vaccines that are currently required for entry into school or childcare in California. Personal belief exemptions filed at a school or childcare facility before January 1, 2016, will remain valid until the student enrolls in the next grade span, typically at TK/kindergarten or seventh grade. Grade spans are childcare, TK through sixth grade, and seventh through 12th grade.
A temporary or permanent Medical Exemption to one or more of the immunizations may be granted with a signed note from a healthcare provider.
Transitional Kindergarten / Kindergarten Physical: Please provide it to your school office once complete.
California law requires each child to have a health examination report for school entry. This report consists of a health examination and an up-to-date immunization record. A health examiner must complete the Report of Health Examination for School Entry.
TK – 1 Oral Health Assessment (Dental Exam): Please provide it to your school office once complete.
Effective January 1, 2007, an Oral Health Assessment (dental examination) by a licensed California dental health professional is required for children entering public school for the first time (at kindergarten or first grade). The Oral Health Assessment must be completed and returned to the school by May 31 of that first school year. Assessments done 12 months prior to school entry also meet this requirement.
