Immunization Registry Requirements
In accordance with Board Policy 5.06, Health Examinations and Immunizations, each child who is entitled to admittance
to grades preschool through 12, shall have a Certificate of Immunization on file with the FDOH State Immunization Registry
(Florida SHOTS).

Any child shall be exempt from the requirements of registration with the state immunization registry if the parent or
guardian of such child objects to having their child in the FDOH State Immunization Registry (Florida SHOTS) and completes
the following:
1. The parent or guardian of the child must present or have on file with the school a Certificate of Immunization prior
to admittance or attendance in a Florida Public or private school.
2. The parent or guardian shall sign an opt-out form (DH 1478) obtained from the FDOH, from a healthcare
practitioner or entity that provides their child’s immunization which indicates that the parent or guardian does
not wish to have the child included in the immunization registry.

**Students that do not have two forms of proof of residence, or have other extenuating circumstances should see their
school’s administration. Students experiencing homelessness and unaccompanied youth and children who are found to
be dependent or are in shelter care have extended time (30 days is a suggested extension) to present these documents.
Contact the MVP Team at 561-350-0778. See information about homeless families discussed above.

Schools must meet the language needs of parents at all relevant stages of the registration process to ensure meaningful
access to their students’ educational opportunities.

See Student Progression Plans incorporated by reference in P- 8.01, under Initial Entry Requirements and P-5.011 Additional
proof of residence may be required where there is a reasonable suspicion that the student is not residing within the
attendance zone or if the school may be facing a boundary change due to overcrowding as stated in P-5.01(4).

Refer to the Transportation section of this Handbook for information regarding requesting transportation for your
child(ren). NOTE: If you move during the school year or the school has a wrong address, you must notify the school.
(P-5.011). Also, the New and Returning Student Registration Form must be completed and returned to your school
yearly.

RESPECT FOR PERSONS AND PROPERTY

Public and private safety is a right. These rights must sometimes be balanced against each other for everyone’s benefit.
Students, parents, and school staff need to work together to see that these rights are preserved in our schools.

Rights
● Students have the right to be treated with respect.
● Students have the right to attend a safe and orderly school.
