CALIFORNIA SCHOOL IMMUNIZATION LAW

California Health and Safety Code, Sections 120325-120375

California Code of Regulations Title 17 Division 1, Chapter 4, Subchapter 8 (PDF)

Under these statutes, children in California are required to receive certain immunizations in order to attend public and private elementary and secondary schools, child care centers, family day care homes, nursery schools, day nurseries, and developmental centers (pre-kindergarten facilities). Schools and pre-kindergarten facilities are required to enforce immunization requirements, maintain immunization records of all children enrolled, and submit reporting.

Students must receive required immunizations before they can attend school in California.  A student’s Immunization Record must be provided to the school prior to admission.  Health care providers are required to give or update the parent or guardian’s copy of the student’s Immunization Record whenever these immunizations are administered.  Each page of the personal immunization record must:

✓ identify the student by name and date of birth
✓ show the date (month, day, and year) each required vaccine dose was received
✓ have the type of vaccine received
✓ include the name of the physician or agency who gave the vaccine

K – 12th Grade Immunization Requirements

Vaccine Catch-up for School – For Age 7+ Years or No Record of Immunizations

Special Cases:

Proof of residency is not required for homeless students in accordance with the McKinney-Vento Homeless Assistance Act of 1987 and Education Code Section 48850.

IMPORTANT NOTES:

Sycamore Creek Charter School’s Public Waldorf educational model results in the order of concepts and subjects being introduced at different grade levels than current California academic standards are introduced and consequently students may have difficulty transferring between SCCCS and other public schools, including Ocean View School District schools—Please review the document titled “Common Core in our Curriculum” under the “Standards Alignment” tab in the enrollment section on our website to learn about where our curriculum deviates from CCSS.

Community through Diversity, Equity, and Inclusiveness

At Sycamore Creek we want all children and families to feel welcome and valued, and we will foster such an environment by bringing awareness in particular to racism, white privilege, gender inequity, LGBTQ rights, socioeconomic status, family structure, and health, physical and neurodevelopmental differences. In collaboration with school staff and administration, we hope to bring educational and parenting resources. Our goal is to support the community of students, families and faculty to increase self-knowledge, cultural sensitivity, and build alliances.

We ask that as we provide a safe, positive, nurturing learning environment and program with an excellent team of educators committed to teaching guided by the core principles of public Waldorf education, that parents and/or legal guardians help nurture the community by assuring that they and their child(ren)
1) attend regularly and on time
2) attend conferences, class and community events, as able
3) strive to provide supports at home that are in tandem with the school’s philosophy, including a rhythmic daily and weekly schedule, adequate sleep, a nutritious diet, avoidance of overexposure to electronic media, and positive behavioral discipline approaches.
4) support the establishment of a school culture and community of families, teachers, and staff that embraces diversity and inclusion

Sycamore Creek shall be nonsectarian in its programs, admission policies, employment practices, and all other operations, shall not charge tuition, and shall not discriminate against any person on the basis of ethnicity, national origin, race, gender, gender identity, gender expression, disability, or any other characteristic as set forth in Section 47605(d) of the Education Code.
