early childhood ScreeningState law mandates that all children are required to participate in Early Childhood Screening for entrance to kindergarten. This screening ensures that all young children in Minnesota are well equipped and ready for learning and that families can be aware of resources in the school and the community. The White Bear Lake Area Schools provide screening for children between the ages of 3 and 5 years of age at no cost (one time only). Screening at age 3 is best. Children only need to be screened once.

Screening includes: vision and hearing, speech and language development; muscle coordination, general skills development, health and immunization review, family information review, and information on community resources. See calendar for Early Childhood Screening Dates. Register online at www.wblearlychildhoodregistration.org. For more information, call 651-653-3100 or visit www.isd624.org/EarlyChildhood.

minnesota Student immunization LawMinnesota Statutes Section 121A.15 and Minnesota Rules Chapter 4604 requires that each student enrolled in and remaining in an elementary or secondary school must submit a record stating that they have received immunizations consistent with medically accepted standards. Immunization records from parents or health care provider stating the month, day, and year of each dose are acceptable. If the student or parent(s) meets one of the legal exemptions - contraindication for medical reasons or contraindication for conscientiously held beliefs - the health care provider or notary needs to sign an appropriate exemption.

For students entering Kindergarten - 12th grade, the following immunizations are required:•5 DPT, DT, Td (Diphtheria, Tetanus, Pertussis)•3 Hepatitis B (HBV) - These injections

are given over a 6 month period)•4 Polio (OPV or IPV)•2 MMR (Measles, Mumps, Rubella)•2Varicella(ChickenPox)orphysicianverificationofhavinghadthedisease(month/year).

For students entering 7th grade -12th grade, the following additional immunization is required:•1 Booster dose of Td (Tetanus, Diphtheria), given at or after 11 years of age.•2 MMR (Measles, Mumps, Rubella) - if it was not received before kindergarten.•2Varicella(ChickenPox)orphysicianverificationofhavinghadthedisease(month/year).•Notice: Beginning in fall 2014-15 students entering 7th grade will be required to have

received meningitis vaccination.

For information about immunizations, please call Special Services at 651-407-7554 or speak with your school nurse.

in White Bear Lake Area Schools, our students develop a love for learning, excel academically, are inspired to realize their dreams, and become engaged citizens with a global understanding.

These words from the district’s mission statement provide a backdrop for the photos and activities in this year’s Academic year calendar.

Please join us this year to support our studentsand families at school events, celebrations, and activities!
