Immunization of Students
NC students in are required by law to have certain immunizations prior to attending schools:
- diphtheria
- tetanus
- whooping cough
- poliomyelitis
- red measles (rubeola)
- rubella
Should the Department of Health and Human Services determine the need for an additional immunization in the interest of public health, the school will work to ensure parent compliance. Every parent, guardian, person in loco parentis and person or agency, whether governmental or private, with legal custody of a child, has the responsibility to ensure that the child has received the required immunization at the mandated age.
The school has the responsibility to ensure that enrolled students meet immunization requirements. The appropriate school personnel will be trained to review all records to assure that student immunization standards are met. Student families who do not meet these standards will be notified as to where and how immunizations can be obtained and what documentation is needed to verify that expectations are met.
Pine Lake Preparatory is aware that a person's religious beliefs may be sufficient for an exemption to this requirement.
