🚨 Important Vaccination Information for the 2025-2026 School Year 🚨 As we prepare for the upcoming 2025-2026 school year, now is the perfect time to review your child’s immunization records. Texas State Law requires all students to have updated vaccination records or a valid exemption on file before the first day of school. ✔️ If your child is fully vaccinated or has a current exemption (expires every two years) already on file with the school nurse — No action is needed! ❗ If your child needs vaccinations or you have not submitted updated records, we encourage you to take care of this over the summer to avoid any delays in enrollment. 📄 Not sure what vaccines are required for your child’s grade level? Please review the attached PDF below for detailed immunization requirements by grade level.
