Wisconsin Immunization Law (Wis. Stat.§ 252.04) sets minimum required immunizations for children attending school according to each age/grade level.  Schools are required to maintain current written documentation of all student's immunization status and ensure compliance with the law. Parents must submit their child's immunization record to the school on or before the first day of school and when additional vaccines are given.  

The exception to receiving the vaccines is to sign a waiver for one of three options health, religious, or personal conviction. Failure to comply with the law may result in legal action from the District Attorney.

If your child needs immunizations contact your physician's office to schedule an appointment. Immunizations are also available free or a reduced cost at your local health department.

Varicella Vaccine

• If you have a child entering our school district for the first time in the 2024/25 school year and your child does not need the varicella vaccine because they had chicken pox disease you will need to have a health care provider (MD, PA, or NP) sign the Immunization and Waiver Form verifying your child had chickenpox.

As your child received additional immunizations, you are required to provide the school with an updated immunization record. Please note in order for your child to be compliant with school entry requirements for immunization they either need to meet the specific immunization dose requirements or have a signed waiver on file with the school. The signed waiver can have a personal conviction or religious waiver for the specific vaccination(s), or have a medical waiver signed by a healthcare practitioner.

The following immunizations are not required but are recommended for teens by the American Academy of Pediatrics and the Center for Disease Control.
