Indiana State Code 20-34-4-5 requires all students to have an up-to-date immunization record prior to the start of school. Families that request an exemption for religious or medical needs must provide documentation to the school each year. A medical exemption requires the signature of a healthcare provider. Please provide a copy of the appropriate immunization forms to the school nurse prior to the student’s first day of school.
Please note that if your child is entering Kindergarten, 6th grade, or 12th grade, they may require additional immunizations. Please contact your child’s healthcare provider for further information on their individual needs.
The Marion County Health Department offers appointments throughout the week. Their phone number is 317-221-5700. Other resources include Community Med Check locations and the Community Clinic at Walgreens. If you do not have a primary physician or need assistance finding one, please contact your School Nurse for resources.
FTCSC, in accordance with Indiana State Code 20-34-4-5, does provide a 20 school-day waiver as allowed in Indiana State Code for parents/guardians to provide either up-to-date immunization records, a religious exemption, or medical needs exemption. On school day 21, in accordance with state law, a student will not be able to attend a FTCSC school until one of the requirements is met.
