Mumps, Rubella, and Varicella.
Verification of Varicella: confirmation in writing by a MD, PA, or APRN that the child has a
previous history of disease, based on family or medical history.
In those instances at school entry where a school-aged child is not adequately immunized
school attendance shall be permitted only if that child:
(1) has received a dose of each required vaccine for which that child is behind in the
month prior to first attendance; and (2) continues on the catch-up schedule recommended in
the most recent standards of care for immunizations in Connecticut.
A proof of completed immunizations, with specific dates for Polio, Measles, Mumps, Rubella, Varicella,(or verification of
disease), HIB for children less than 5 years old, Hepatitis B, Hepatitis A, and DTaP is part of the required registration
packet. Please bring any other pertinent health records. The CT State Department of Education requires proof of
immunization and a completed physical, completed within 12 months of the start of school, be turned into the school
nurse BEFORE the child begins school.
Transfer Students:
If a student transfers into a Connecticut school from out-of state, no matter the grade, proof of immunizations and a
physical must be presented before entrance into school. The blue medical form must be completed and can be obtained
by calling the school your child will be attending.
Home Schooling:
Any parent who wishes to Home-School their child must notify Dr. William Glass at the District Office at 63 Beaver
Brook Road at 797-4724, starting at age five. CT General Statute 10-184 has changed the mandatory school age from
seven to five. However, parents can sign a waiver at age five and then again at age six at their home school. At age seven,
the child must be enrolled in an educational program without further delay.
