Immunizations
N.Y. State Education Law requires a signed and dated certificate of Immunization from a physician or health clinic to be on record for each entering student. It is crucial that each student’s immunization record is uploaded and submitted BEFORE the start of the school year. Students without an immunization record on file will be unable to attend school in September.

Any child without documentation of the required immunizations will be excluded from school until such documentation is received.
