Starting Monday, October 21, 2024, Roseville Area Schools will enforce the Minnesota Immunization Law. This is crucial for maintaining healthy and safe school communities.

Here's what you need to know:

Students must meet ONE of the following criteria to continue attending school:

✅ Have received all required immunizations

✅ Have a scheduled immunization appointment

✅ Have submitted a notarized exemption form

Starting October 21, 2024:

❗Students who do not meet the immunization requirements will be instructed to stay home until the requirements are met.

❗These absences will be marked as unexcused.

Why this matters:

🏥 This policy helps protect our most vulnerable students, who are unable to receive vaccines.

🏥 It minimizes the time students miss due to disease outbreaks, as those not immunized may be required to stay home per the Minnesota Department of Health (MDH).

🔎 If your student is missing any immunizations, you will receive a notice from the Health Office. Please respond promptly to ensure your student can remain in school. For questions or concerns, contact the Parkview Health Office at 651-487-4365.
