Immunizations

To comply with Arizona State Law (A.R.S. §§ 36-671 and 15-871), students must have a current immunization record on file with the school in order to attend school, unless an appropriate exemption has been submitted.

 

Arizona law requires that a student's immunization history be provided at the time of enrollment. Parents and guardians are responsible for keeping the school health office informed of any additional immunizations their child receives throughout the school year. Students must remain current on all required immunizations.

Immunization Exemptions

Arizona law allows parents or guardians to request an immunization exemption for:

  • Medical reasons
  • Religious beliefs
  • Personal beliefs

The appropriate Immunization Exemption Form must be completed and signed by a parent or guardian.
