Except as otherwise provided by law, students must have proof of immunization before attending the Webster City Community School District. Student may enroll in the district, but will not be allowed to attend, without proof of immunization. Students must submit a Certificate of Immunization required by the Iowa Department of Public Health.
A student may be permitted to provisionally attend Webster City Schools by submitting a Provisional Certificate of Immunization if:
- The student has submitted proof of immunization and has not completed the required immunizations, but is in the process of doing so. Failure to complete the immunization requirements in a manner set by the Iowa Department of Public Health will be grounds for exclusion from school until requirements are met.
- The student is transferring from another school within the United States, and records have been requested. Once records have been received, and if immunizations are not compliant with Iowa immunization laws, the student will complete the needed immunizations in a scheduled manner set by the Iowa Department of Public Health. Failure to comply would be grounds for exclusion from school until requirements are met.
Exemptions from the immunization requirement in this policy will be allowed only for medical or religious reasons recognized under the law. The student must provide a valid Iowa Department of Public Health Certificate of Immunization Exemption to be exempt from this policy.
