District 196 has partnered with Homeland Health to offer free back-to-school immunization clinics for students beginning August 23. Participation in these clinics is voluntary, with the purpose to bring students up-to-date with their immunizations. 

To enroll in child care, early childhood programs and school in Minnesota, parents or guardians must show that their child has received the required immunizations for their age or file a legal exemption. Parents may file a medical exemption signed by a health care provider or a conscientious objection signed by a parent or guardian and notarized. This information must be on file with the school nurse before the first day of school.

All required school vaccinations will be available at these events. Please follow the links below to register online. A limited number of walk ups will be available. For more information about immunizations, visit the Health Services webpage.
