Immunizations

Immunizations give your child the best protection when they start school. Colorado law requires that all children attending preschool be vaccinated to prevent vaccine preventable disease. We work hard to make sure your child has all the required vaccines. Your help in providing updated immunization records is greatly appreciated. Click Here to see the Immunization Doses Required.

Failure to meet Colorado immunization law within 14 days will result in suspension from school until there is compliance with the law. A child may be exempted from immunizations with a physician's medical recommendation or a written statement signed by the parent or guardian stating opposition based on religious or personal beliefs.
