That’s how it used to be...
the children dont start school or go back to schol if the shots are not current and up to date and on the approved shot record...sometimes the shots are not recorded on the parents copy...
Since the parent will be in trouble if the child does not go to school it is the parents responsiblity to make sure that their children have the shots...
The school system should not have to beg the parents for compliance, just refuse to enroll them...the parents will swiftly change their tune...
If there is a medical or religious excuse that should be forthcoming early...
if I had a religious reason to expect some favor for my child I would take care of that early in the process not 2 months after school starts...
Bingo, class of 65.
That's because you believe in parental responsibility and pay attention to the details that are necessary for life to move smoothly.
That's asking a lot of the rest of the population.
Excellent points...
I work in a school district where parents are great but there are always the few......A few years ago we had no shots on record for a child. I finally sent a letter to the parents, after numerous phone and email messages,stating their child could not come to school until we had his immunizations or at least an exemption letter on file. This child’s mom is a nurse practitioner and dad is a scientist it wasn’t as if these were ignorant parents...we finally got the documentation within days.
I do not like to strong arm parents like that but I also do not appreciate being ignored.
