**A previous history of having a vaccine preventable disease is not generally considered grounds for waiving the required immunization. However, measles immunization may be waived if the parent or guardian presents a signed statement from a licensed physician that indicates the child has had the disease. The Varicella vaccine may be waived if the parent or guardian presents a signed statement that indicates the child has had the disease. A history of having rubella is not grounds for waiving the immunization.
Parents who have applied for a transfer to a school other than their neighborhood school should pre-register at their neighborhood school unless they have been notified that their transfer request has been granted.
