To attend school, students must be current with their immunizations. Immunization compliance is documented by submitting a completed Universal Health Certificate to the school at the time of enrollment. Medical forms can be accessed here. These should be turned in to the school as part of the enrollment process, and any updated forms throughout the school year should be submitted to the school nurse.
