Kindergarten Medical Policy

The medical requirements for Kindergarten admission are identified as:

1. A full physical exam, including a vision screening, by your family doctor/pediatrician within twelve (12) months before the start of school.
2. All students must be completely immunized according to the Massachusetts School Immunization Law as follows, including the influenza vaccine:
   1. Blood Lead Level, including level amount and date.
   2. A physician's certification is the only acceptable evidence of immunization. Certification provided should contain the month, day, year, and type of immunization.
   3. There are two exceptions to these laws:
      1. For medical reasons.
      2. For religious reasons.

However, these will not be accepted as valid unless accompanied by:

• Official Medical Statement with reasons for Medical exception with doctor signature.
• Parental/guardian statement that immunization conflicts with sincere religious beliefs.

Children will not be allowed to attend school without immunization documentation.

• All students must have a vision screening. This vision testing must include stereopsis with details listed such as MassVat and Random Dot E. Your pediatrician should be testing your child's vision at their five (5) year check-up and recording it on that form. A form from a vision specialist is also acceptable. 
• If your child has Asthma or a severe life-threatening allergy requiring an Epi-pen, please see the school nurse for additional forms.
• If your child will require any medications to be given and/or kept at school, please see the school nurse for additional forms.
