Preparation for the 24-25 School Year

  • All students should have up to date immunizations prior to attending school.

  • All incoming 4th, 7th, and 11th grade students are required to submit a new physical exam with up to date immunizations.  

  • 7th graders should have an updated Tdap and Meningococcal vaccine along with their physical exam that includes a vision screen and scoliosis screen.

  • 11th graders should have an updated Meningococcal vaccine along with their physical exam.

  • All updated physicals can be sent to your school nurse.  The subject line should include your student’s name and grade.

School Health Offices

In order to insure adherence to Massachusetts immunization requirements, monitoring of infections and other diseases are important functions of the school nurse.  The nurse works with parents, administrators, school staff, primary care providers, local and regional Boards of Health, school physicians and others to maintain a healthy school environment.  Upon recommendation to administration, students may be excluded from school if immunizations are not up to date or if a student has a communicable disease such as chicken pox, pertussis, scabies or conjunctivitis.
