IMMUNIZATIONS REQUIREMENTS
Because we are a public school, we follow New Jersey state law immunization requirements. We require all students enrolled in our school to be current on their immunizations. This helps us keep our school and children healthy and prevents an outbreak of many types of diseases.
Immunization exemptions are available for medical reasons, laboratory proof of immunity, and personal or religious beliefs. Please be aware that if an outbreak of illness occurs and your child has not received vaccinations, we will not allow him or her in school until the outbreak is over.
