Immunization Requirements for 2025-2026 School Year
The state of Indiana requires parents to provide schools with a current record of their child's immunizations. This is a priority for keeping our school environment healthy and safe. A complete immunization record or exemption form must be on file by the first day of school. For any questions on immunization requirements, please contact your child's physician or your child's school nurse. The Marion County Health Department is also a resource if your child needs to receive updated vaccines. They can be reached at (317) 221-5700.

Immunization Clinics
All Indiana students are required to be up to date on their immunizations or have a valid exemption on file according to Indiana state law. Students who are not in compliance may not be allowed to attend school beginning Friday, October 17th. Please send your child’s updated immunization record (or Religious/Medical Exemption form) to the school nurse as soon as possible to avoid being excluded from school.
To assist families in meeting this requirement, we have partnered with Franciscan Health Immunizations to host an on-site immunization clinic at each of our schools during the school day in early September.
If you would like your student to participate in the clinic, please:
1. Complete the consent form in full, including insurance information.
(The consent form is linked below)
2. Return the form to school as soon as possible.
If you have any questions or need a vaccine clinic consent form sent home with your student, please contact your school nurse.
Thank you for helping us keep our school community safe and healthy.
