Maine law requires all students to receive the following immunizations: four IPV (three, if the third dose is given after fourth birthday); five DPT (four if fourth given after fourth birthday) two MMR, and Varicella (chickenpox) vaccine will be required for students in grades K-12. Non-immunized students are not permitted to attend school unless the parent/guardian provides a written statement from a physician that immunization against one or more diseases may be inadvisable or the parent/guardian provides a written statement that immunization is contrary to their religious, moral or philosophical beliefs.  The Superintendent and/or public health officials may exclude non-immunized students from school if there is a health threat to the student or others.  Questions concerning these requirements may be addressed to the Principal or school nurse. All immunization updates during the year can be reported to the school nurse to be included in the school health record. 

For parents/guardians that choose not to immunize their child due to religious, moral, or philosophical beliefs and exception form must be completed and signed annually at the start of the new school year.

**Please be aware that as of September 2021, these exemptions were no longer accepted.
