Resources
ISD leadership relies upon a variety of governmental and health agencies to establish our local school district health protocol. The agencies upon which we rely often release new or updated information. Any changes to ISD protocols are reflected in the evergreen documents below, which change to stay continually relevant and are dated each time an update is made.
Immunization Requirements
Missouri law requires all students be up-to-date on their immunizations to attend school.
Proof of immunizations must be submitted at the time of registration - or - to your student's individual building.
The Missouri Department of Health & Senior Services explains the requirements on their website, and you can also download a PDF below in English and Spanish.
- Incoming 8th graders must have the MCV and TDAP vaccines.
- Incoming 12th graders must have the MCV vaccine.
Please talk with your child's pediatrician, the Jackson County Health Department, or ISD Health Services if you have questions about Immunizations.
You can also click here to learn more about the Vaccines for Children program, which provides free immunizations for children who qualify.
