Health & Registration Requirements
Along with the online registration application and other required forms for enrollment; health documentation also must be provided.
Iowa law requires a parent to verify proper immunization against diphtheria, tetanus, pertussis, polio, measles, mumps, rubella, hepatitis B and varicella to enroll in school. At least one dose of each immunization must be given before starting school. An immunization or exemption certificate must be on file with the school nurse by the time the student starts school as this is required by state law.
Please review the immunization requirements per the Iowa Department of Public Health as the State of Iowa has passed some new requirements in recent years. The state of Iowa requires students entering 7th grade to have both a Tdap vaccine and a meningitis vaccine. For those students entering 12th grade, you will need to show proof of two doses of meningitis vaccine. The meningitis vaccine must be received before the first day of 7th or 12th grade and an updated immunization record must be provided to the school nurse before the first day of school.
If you have specific questions or need more information on immunizations or any of the health screening, please talk to your medical care provider or school nurse. Your healthcare provider should be able to provide you with the appropriate immunization certificate however if you need a blank certificate of immunization or exemption form, please click HERE.
Required by Iowa law, dental screenings are to be completed for all students entering preschool, kindergarten and ninth grade. Students entering preschool and/or kindergarten must have had a screening completed no sooner than 3 years of age and no later than four months after school enrollment. It can be completed by a licensed doctor, advanced registered nurse practitioner, physician assistant, nurse, dental hygienist, or a dentist. Students entering ninth grade must have proof of a dental screening by a dentist or dental hygienist completed no earlier than one year prior to enrollment and no later than four months after enrollment.
