Immunizations and Tuberculosis Policy
Ohio Immunization School Law requires that proof of immunizations for every student be on file at the school within fourteen days after entry in order for that student to remain in school. Preschool students are required to have the following immunizations: Varicella (chickenpox), DTaP/DT, Hepatitis B, Polio, MMR, and HiB. Students may be temporarily excluded from school if proof of immunizations is not provided. The district’s Tuberculosis Policy indicates that students that have lived in or visited any country outside of the United States for more than 3 months are required to have a tuberculin skin test. Students MUST have a note from a healthcare provider before starting school.
Instructional Fees
Instructional Fees are $17.50. Payment can be made by cash, check or money order. Instructional fees may be paid on your Infinite Campus Parent Portal.
