School Entry Health Requirements
There are several pieces of documentation required upon entering school, a few of which are health related. Please read the information from our school nurses regarding the required health assessments HERE. The forms are available below.
Health documents required for first year of public school (Kindergarten or 1st Grade):
- Report of Health Examination for School Entry (needs to be printed out and completed by both parent and health examiner). Although this is a requirement for 1st grade, we also provide it for incoming Kindergarten students because it is valid for up to 18 months prior to entering 1st grade.
- Oral Health Assessment (needs to be printed out and completed by both parent and CA licensed dental professional) must be completed and signed (or stamped) by a dentist prior to May 31st for the student's first year in a California public school. Dental evaluations that have happened within the 12 months prior to school entry also meet this requirement.
All new families must also complete the Health Registration Form as part of the registration process. This is an online fillable form and can be accessed below.

Immunizations
NEW REGISTRANTS
Students enrolling are required to be current on all required school immunizations. If missing any doses, they can go through their pediatrician, SOS clinic, or local pharmacy.
If a student is transferring from outside the country, the requirements are the same. If support is needed with the process, health and office staff are available to help families.
Resources in the community for required school immunizations can be found below:
MEDICAL EXEMPTIONS for required immunizations (per Shots for Schools) starting January 1, 2021
Medical exemptions for school and child care entry can only be issued through the California Immunization Registry - Medical Exemption website (CAIR-ME) by physicians licensed in California. Parents can create an account and log in to CAIR-ME to submit a request for a medical exemption. Next, the child's doctor can complete the medical exemption in CAIR-ME and print a copy for the parents to give to the child's school or child care facility.
The requirements for a medical exemption from a CA licensed physician (M.D. or D.O.) include:

PERSONAL BELIEFS EXEMPTION (PBE)
