The Rights
and Responsibilities Handbook contains various health related sections. These
include Immunization and Vaccination Information, Medication, and various
health-related screenings (p 3), and comments about Home-Hospital teaching
(p 2). In addition, parents are advised that immunizations, tuberculosis
tests, and physicals are required.
Parents are responsible for keeping
their own records of all immunizations, TB tests, and physicals. They will
be asked to provide this record at registration. Kindergarten
students and students new to the country may register, but may not begin
school unless immunizations are current.

earlier than 18 months prior to first grade
entry or no later than 90 days after the first
day of school. If the school does not receive
the student’s physical examination results on
the state form PM171A (with TB results) on the
90th day after school begins, the student will
be excluded from attending school.
