Records Required for Registration

Students newly entering Manhattan Catholic Schools are required to present proof of immunizations.  Either a shot record or completed Kansas Certificate of Immunization (KCI green form) are necessary.

Required immunizations are diphtheria, pertussis, and tetanus (DPT); polio (OPV); mumps, measles, and rubella (MMR). For immunizations to be current and up to date, 1 of the battery of 4 DPT shots should have been given after the child turned 4 years of age, as well as 1 of the battery of 3 OPV’s.  In addition, 2 MMR vaccines are also included in current, up to date immunizations. The time span between the 3rd and 4th vaccines should be 6 months for DPT and 6 weeks for OPV. One or 2 immunizations containing measles vaccine alone does not qualify; mumps and rubella must be included.

Exceptions to these requirements can be permitted for documented medical reasons or parent’s religious beliefs, which require parental signature. The state of Kansas mandates that a parent must sign for their religious exemption every year.

A physical examination performed within the 12 months prior to entering kindergarten completes the required medical procedures for for newly entering students.  Parents may also choose to include dental examinations as well as hearing and vision screenings.

A state issued (not hospital issued) birth certificate, baptismal certificate, and the student’s social security number are also necessary. Please bring in all original documents. The school will copy them and return them to you immediately.
