Immunizations

Are your children up-to-date on vaccines?

Students entering Kindergarten, 7th Grade, and 12th Grade have new vaccine requirements. Minnesota law mandates that students have proof of required vaccinations or a valid exemption. Guardians must submit one of the following to their child's school: 

✔ An immunization record (with dates)
✔ OR a signed medical exemption
✔ OR a notarized exemption form

Without this, students may be excluded from school and activities until documentation is received. View District 196's Student Immunization regulation.
