Immunizations and Health Records

St. Patrick’s requires that all students maintain age-appropriate vaccinations, as recommended by the American Academy of Pediatrics and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and as required by District of Columbia law. Students shall not be permitted to attend school unless St. Patrick’s has on file the appropriate documents demonstrating that they are fully immunized in accordance with the law or that they are subject to an exemption from immunization. The full statement of St. Patrick’s Immunization Policy is available from the Health Office. 
 

Each child must have on file a valid, physician-signed DC Universal Certificate and Immunization Record based on an annual physical examination. Student physicals are valid for 365 days from the date of the exam as recorded on the District of Columbia Universal Health Certificate under Section 2, Date of Health Exam. Please note that this date is the valid date of record and not necessarily the date recorded at the bottom of the certificate. Once the 365 days have passed, a three-week grace period will be granted before students will be prevented from attending school.

Additionally,  these forms are due yearly based on specific age requirements:

District of Columbia law requires that these forms be completed and on file prior to the start of school. Therefore, no child may attend school at St. Patrick’s without completed forms on file. 

St. Patrick’s uses an electronic student health records management system, August Schools. All student health records must be submitted directly to August Schools—and can be accessed by parents—through the St. Patrick’s August Schools portal.
