The state of Missouri requires certain immunizations before children may attend school.  Children may receive their immunizations from their health care provider or at the St. Charles County Health Department.  If you are unsure if your child is in need of immunizations, please contact your health care provider or your school nurse.

DOES YOUR CHILD HAVE THE IMMUNIZATIONS NEEDED TO START SCHOOL?

Missouri immunization requirements vary by grade level.  Please refer to the charts below to determine if your child is compliant for the start of the new school year.  State law and health regulations require students to be properly immunized and provide verification to attend school unless exempted.

FOR YOUR CHILD TO ATTEND THE FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL THEY MUST BE PROPERLY IMMUNIZED.

If you are unable to meet with your family doctor prior to your child's first day of school, visit the St. Charles County Health Department website for more information on how to obtain immunizations at their office.

In order to dispense medication at your child's school, the school district is required to have an authorization form completed by the students prescribing physician annually.

Throughout the academic year, the WSD will provide vision and hearing screenings for all students in grades K-3.  If your student is not in grades K-3, you may reach out to your child’s school nurse to request screening. Families may also reach out to the school nurse with any questions or concerns.

A completed MSHSAA Physical form must be completed and on file with your child's school annually before students may participate in middle or high school sports.  Your school office can provide you with a form, or download a copy from the Health Services forms section.
