Attention! The following message is for parents/guardians of all students entering 7th grade or entering North Carolina Public Schools for the first time. All 7th grade students are required by North Carolina law to receive a Meningococcal and Tdap vaccine within the first 30 days of school entry. Also, all students who are entering North Carolina Public Schools for the first time are required to provide a completed health assessment from a North Carolina healthcare provider and current shot record within the first 30 days of school entry. Students beginning school on August 29, 2022 will have a deadline of September 27, 2022 to comply with North Carolina State law.
North Carolina G.S. 130A-155(a) requires proof of required immunizations within 30 days of the first date of attendance of school. Session Law 215-222 House Bill 13 requires students enrolling in a NC Public School for the first time to submit proof of a health assessment, completed within the last 365 calendar days prior to the enrollment date. These requirements apply to all children in North Carolina, regardless of the type of school setting whether children attend school in-person, by remote learning, or through Craven Virtual Academy.
If a child or adolescent does not have the appropriate documentation after 30 calendar days, the student shall be excluded from school (including in-person, remote learning or virtual program) until compliant with the requirements.
Please contact your doctor or the Craven County Health Department (252-636-4920) or the Community Health Center (252-444-1533) about obtaining the Health Assessment and/or immunizations. Bring the completed Health Assessment form and/or immunization records to the school office where your child is enrolled. Please feel free to contact the school nurse if you have any questions.
