7th grade: Mrs. Robin Friedman, ext 243362, friedmanr@svusd.org
8th grade: Mrs. Erika Reed, ext 243363, reede@svusd.org

Immunization Requirements: Tdap & Two Varicella Required for 7th Grade

Immunizations required for entry into 7^th grade include proof of Tdap (which must have been given to your student after their 7^th birthday) and 2 doses of Varicella (Chickenpox vaccine). As of 2016, having had the chickenpox disease no longer exempts students from needing the 2 doses of the vaccine for entry into 7^th grade.

The only way a student can be exempt from any required vaccine is to get a Medical Exemption from the State of California through the C.A.I.R.-Me program. To register: https://cair.cdph.ca.gov/exemptions/home.

Immunizations are available not only from your child's doctor, but also at many of the local pharmacies and medical clinics. The SVUSD Health Services page also provides resources for Free and Low Cost clinics.

If you did not provide your immunization records to the elementary school, please provide them to our office July 24th - August 1st from 7:30 AM - 3:00 PM. Students cannot attend Roadrunner Rally on August 2nd unless immunization records are current.

Students will not be permitted to attend school without proof of immunizations.
