Required Immunizations/Vaccines
In compliance with North Carolina law (General Statute 130A-152-157), parents/guardian must present certification of the required immunizations at the age required by law on or before the first day a student enters school. Any religious exemptions must be presented in writing to the school. Medical exemptions must be completed by a physician and must state the basis for the exemption.
Most immunizations are due when a student enters kindergarten, additional immunizations are required upon entry into 7th grade and 12th grade. A list of required immunizations is provided in the Notice of Requirements SY 2022-2023 (English)
Immunizing young people before school both keeps them safe from preventable illnesses, and meets the state requirements that keeps them in school, learning. These are the scheduled events, and opportunities to participate.
