Wisconsin Immunization Requirements for the 2024-2025 School Year
FOR INCOMING KINDERGARTEN STUDENTS:
Wisconsin state law requires students to be immunized within 30 days from the start of school. Below are Wisconsin immunization requirements:
4 doses of DTaP, DTP (diphtheria, tetanus, pertussis/whooping cough) or DT(diphtheria, tetanus) vaccine. A dose may be needed for children entering kindergarten if one of the DTaP doses was not given after the fourth birthday.
4 doses of polio vaccine
3 doses of Hepatitis B vaccine - at least one dose must be after 6 months old
2 doses of MMR (measles, mumps, rubella) vaccine
2 doses of Varicella (chickenpox) vaccine
ATTENTION SOON TO BE 7TH GRADERS: The Wisconsin Student Immunization law requires a Tdap, the adolescent combination vaccine that protects against tetanus, diphtheria, and pertussis (whooping cough). Please get these immunizations updated during the summer and turn in your immunization record to the health office at the Middle School. Immunizations must be completed within 30 days of the start of school.

EVERY FAMILY MUST DO: Annual Online Registration
The Chippewa Falls Area Unified School District has opened the annual online registration process found on the Infinite Campus parent portal. This process helps us gather the latest family contact information along with your permission for important questions concerning your student(s).
The online registration process is required for each student. Completion of the process allows your student access to a number of privileges including field trips, access to the internet, and use of district chromebooks/ipads. You can see the questions below.
The registration process is now open so parents have plenty of time to review their information online before the fall. To make the review and entry process simpler, please consider using a laptop or computer.
If your student is a member of more than one household, please understand that only one household can complete the online process. See image below for more details.
How to Start:
- Log onto the Campus parent portal
- Click on the More menu item
- Online Registration
- 24-25 Next Year EXISTING Student Registration to begin the process.
If you need help logging in, click on the "Problems logging in" link on the login screen. For help with the online process, email our help desk at helpdesk@chipfalls.org and include your phone number.
