If your child is new to Berkeley Unified School District or starting preschool, transitional kindergarten, kindergarten, or 7th grade, you will need to provide your child’s school with documentation that your child has been fully immunized. A list of the required immunizations can be found here.
Please note: As of January 2016, California state law (Senate Bill 277) no longer allows parents/guardians of students to submit a personal belief exemption form for any currently required immunizations.
Children who have not provided BUSD with documentation verifying they have received all required immunizations prior to the first day of school (August 29, 2017) will not be allowed to attend school until all immunization records have been provided.
If you have questions regarding immunizations you can read more here, or contact the district nurse Rikki Moreno at 510-644-6960 or rikkimoreno@berkeley.net.
