Dear Parent/Guardian,
Your child has a medical/religious exemption to vaccination and is not fully immunized. Although your child remains at risk for getting a vaccine preventable disease, IC-34-4 permits your child to attend school.
In the event of an outbreak of a vaccine preventable related disease for which your child is not fully vaccinate, your child may be excluded from school to protect his/her health and the health of all our students and staff. It is important to understand that with some diseases such as measles, one infected child is an outbreak. The length of time your child will be kept out of school depends on the disease. Your child’s exclusion may be as long as 3-4 weeks.
If your child is excluded from school, your child will also be excluded from school sponsored activities, such as sporting events, dances, and graduation that occur with the exclusion period. The school will notify you when your child can return to school.
Children who are not completely vaccinated can be excluded from school due to cases of measles, chickenpox, pertussis, mumps, or any other vaccine preventable disease (at the discretion of the local health officer).
