The purpose of this Immunization Policy (“Policy”) is to protect the health and safety of the students at The Montessori School  St Clair, and to minimize the exposure to and transmission of preventable communicable diseases at The Montessori School St. Clair by creating and enforcing certain immunization standards for students, consistent with state requirements.

“Proof of Immunization” means documented evidence of the child having received a vaccine, which is verified by a health care provider, such as a physician child care or school health professional, or health official, or document proof of the applicable disease.
