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 provider or clinic's plan (with dates) for completion of vaccines, OR
✔ A signed medical exemption, OR
✔ A notarized exemption form
Without this, students may be excluded from school and activities on October 22nd, 2026 until documentation is received. View District 196's Student Immunization regulation.
