In accordance with N.J.A.C. 8:57-4: Immunization of pupils in school, it is mandatory to have your child's immunizations administered prior to enrolling or attending school. Enrollment in the school district shall not be denied based upon absence of student medical information. 

*However, actual attendance at school may be deferred until the student complies with student immunization rules set forth in N.J.A.C. 8:57-4.
