Back to school means time to get children up to date on required and recommended vaccines. Keeping children up to date on vaccinations is the best way to keep them healthy and reduce unnecessary absences from school. Students entering kindergarten, seventh and twelfth grade have additional immunization requirements. Call 704.296.4423 to schedule an appointment. 

Parents must provide this documentation within 30 calendar days of their child's first day of school. On the 30th day, students without a complete immunization record and/or Health Assessment on file will be excluded until it is received. For students who start on August 28, 2023, the first day of school, the 30th day is September 27, 2023. Please ensure all records are submitted on or before this date to avoid your student being excluded from school on September 27, 2023.  
 
The CDC has more information and resources for parents and guardians:
List of all vaccines required for school attendance, from kindergarten through 12th grade. Parents unsure of which vaccines their children need at any age can find out what is needed by taking a short quiz on the CDC website, or by reviewing the CDC’s immunization schedule for infants and children or the immunization schedule for adolescents.
