2014-2015 Kindergarten Registration Requirements
In order to register your child for Kindergarten for the 2014-2015 school year:
*A student must be fully immunized against certain diseases or must present a certificate or statement
that, for medical reasons or reasons of conscience, including a religious belief, the student will not be
immunized. For exemptions based on reasons of conscience, only official forms issued by the Texas
Department of State Health Services (DSHS), Immunization Branch, can be honored by the District. This
form may be obtained by writing the DSHS Immunization Branch (MC 1946), P.O. Box 149347, Austin, Texas
78714-9347; or online at https://webds.dshs.state.tx.us/immco/affidavit.shtm. If the parent is seeking an
exemption for more than one student in the family, a separate form must be provided for each student.
The immunizations required are: diphtheria, rubeola (measles), rubella (German measles), mumps, tetanus,
pertussis, poliomyelitis (polio), hepatitis A, hepatitis B, and varicella (chicken pox). The school nurse can
provide information on age-appropriate doses or on an acceptable physician-validated history of illness
required by the Department of State Health Services. Proof of immunization may be established by
personal records from a licensed physician or public health clinic with a signature or rubber-stamp
validation.
If a student should not be immunized for medical reasons, the student or parent must present a certificate
signed by a U.S. licensed physician stating that, in the doctor’s opinion, the immunization required poses a
significant risk to the health and well-being of the student or member of the student’s family or household.
This certificate must be renewed yearly unless the physician specifies a life-long condition. [For further
information, see Policy FFAB(LEGAL) and the Department of State Health Services web site:
