4K/Kindergarten Information
If your child is entering school for the first time in either 4K or Kindergarten this year, please review the following information.
Immunizations:
Our 4K students should have the following vaccines before starting school or the parent should sign a waiver: 4 DTaP/DTP/DT, 3 Polio, 3 Hepatitis B, 1 MMR and 1 Varicella (or have had chickenpox disease).
Additional immunizations are required before the child enters Kindergarten (4 DTaP/DTP/DT/Td, 4 Polio, 3 Hepatitis B, 2 MMR and 2 Varicella).
Schools are required to send legal notices if timelines are not met.
County health departments offer free vaccinations to children who do not have insurance or you may go to your doctor for the vaccines.
A completed Student Immunization Record form is required each school year and is due no later than the 30th school day.

Eye Examination:
An eye examination is recommended before school entrance.
Wisconsin law requires schools request each student entering kindergarten for the first time (either 4K or K) have a professional eye exam.
Many eye doctors provide a reduced fee for pre-kindergarten vision exams.
Please have the examiner complete the Eye Examination form and return it to the school.

Medications:
If your child needs to take medication(s) during the school day, you will need to complete a Medication Administration Consent form. Use one form for each medication.
You will need to provide the medication to the school in the original medication container.
The school cannot give any medication until you have the form completed.
If it is a prescription medication, your child's medical provider will need to sign the medication form as well.
You can find the form along with more information here.
