California Education law requires that all students become fully immunized or have a documented medical exemption.
Conditionally Admitted Students
1. ALL students, regardless of immunization status, MUST present immunizations at the time of enrollment in order to attend school. Those with incomplete records or immunizations have some options.
a. Students who are as current as possible with their vaccines and not due for any doses will be enrolled.
b. Foster children, homeless youth, and children of currently active duty or reserved military families will be permitted to enroll.
c. Students with current IEPs will be permitted to enroll.
2. Children who are conditionally admitted (meaning they have not completed the vaccine series) are still required to present their written documentation of current vaccines or enroll in an alternative educational program (a non-classroom based instructional program, such as AVUHSD’s Independent Study or Virtual Academy online).
Please contact the Health Office where your student will be attending if you have further questions. Questions for Alternative schools may be addressed at any high school Health Office.
