Immunization Requirements 2015-2016
As you prepare for the 2015-2016 school year, please ensure that your child’s immunization record is updated and that documentation is submitted to Unity by 8/30/2015. Below is a list of the immunizations that your child needs for each grade. If your child is turning 11 at some point during this school year, please schedule to have her/him vaccinated on her/his birthday or the day after. Students who do not have all of the required immunizations will not be allowed to enter the school building until they have received all the required immunizations. Additionally, all students must complete a thorough physical for the year. Please complete the Health Examination Form and return it to Unity if there is not a physical form on file already.
