Immunizations
All students enrolling in the Center Joint Unified School District must satisfy California State Immunization Requirements before enrollment.
California schools are required to check immunization records for all new student admissions at transitional kindergarten (TK)/Kindergarten through 12th grade and all students advancing to 7th grade before entry. Parents must show their child’s Immunization Record as proof of immunization.
Note: Your child will not receive class placement until all state-required immunizations have been met.
Please see the Shots for School website for a guide to the requirements. For additional questions about the requirements, please call Gail Cebula at 916-825-5940 or email her at gailc@centerusd.org.
