Immunizations
The Texas Education Code, Section 38.001, requires that each student be immunized against certain diseases and that schools maintain a record of the student’s immunization on file.
 
All SWPRP students must present a copy of their immunization records at the time of enrollment.
 
The law allows for the following exemptions:
 
  • A licensed physician may write a statement stating that the immunization(s) required would be medically harmful, or injurious to the health and well-being of the child or household member.
  • The parent/guardian may choose an exemption from immunization requirements for reasons of conscience, including religious belief. Instructions for requesting the official exemption affidavit can be found at www.ImmunizeTexas.com (link is below too.) Original Exemption Affidavit must be completed, notarized, and submitted to the school. Copies are not valid.

Parental Rights, Options, and Responsibilities.

 

Texas law recognizes that students do best when families are informed, involved, and respected. Parents are partners with educators, administrators, and school boards of trustees in their children’s education. Parents have specific rights outlined in the Texas Education Code, including Chapter 26: Parental Rights and Responsibilities. Please see the form below for more information about your parental rights. 

Health-Related Services 

 

As a parent or guardian, you have the fundamental right to make decisions regarding the upbringing and control of your child. Our goal as a school is to be a supportive partner in that effort, providing effective academic instruction to maximize student learning. In service of that goal, we also work to support the general well-being of our students so they can remain academically focused. Please see the form below concerning health-related services that we offer for your child.
