Immunizations

State law requires students attending school to be immunized against certain vaccine-preventable diseases.  You are encouraged to get your child vaccinated early to avoid the end-of-summer  vaccination  rush.  Getting your child vaccinated protects your child’s health and that of the community.  If necessary, please make an appointment to get your child vaccinated before the first day of school. Remember, students cannot attend school without the appropriate documentation for the required vaccines. 

Be sure your child is up to date on all immunizations. You can access the 2023-24 immunization form links below. 

Louisiana State Immunization Requirements

The parent/guardian is responsible for:

  • Ensuring their child meets all school immunization requirements.
  • Keeping accurate and up-to-date vaccination records for their children.
  • Submitting a required complete Certificate of Immunizations to their child’s school before the child
    enrolls and attends, per Louisiana Revised Statute 17:170. A signed immunization
    exemption form can be provided by parents/guardians in lieu of the receipt of a complete
    Certificate of Immunizations form.

While we seek to keep the learning experience as typical as possible, we are balancing the need for increased safety measures. In addition to the items noted above, IDEA’s classroom sizes are in line with CDC guidelines to allow for proper social distancing.

Our schools are staffed with Registered Nurses and/or health support staff who have been thoroughly trained to protect each and every IDEA student.
