Immunization, birth certificates required

Registration dates for kindergarten children entering Santa Rosa County Public Schools for the 2008-2009 school year have been announced. The child must be five years old on or before September 1 to register for kindergarten.

Parents are urged to get their child's Florida Certificate of Immunization record and proof of birth records. Original birth certificate must be presented at the time of registration. If applicable, please bring latest court papers pertaining to custody of child.

State law requires up to date immunizations and current physical examinations for each student starting in kindergarten, prior to the first day of school, which is August 18.

Any questions concerning exemptions from required immunizations should be addressed to the Santa Rosa Health Department or to your family physician. The physical examination may be performed within one year prior to enrollment in school. Forms for physical examinations may be picked up at school or Health Department. These records should be presented at the time of pre-registration.

Be wise - IMMUNIZE! Avoid the last minute crunch and start immunizing your child now. Contact your local physician or county health unit at 983-5200.
