Dear MCCSC Parent/Guardians,

On behalf of our Board of School Trustees and entire staff,

congratulations on an excellent 2012-2013 school year and welcome

to school year 2013-2014!

We look forward to the opportunity to serve the academic needs of

our students.

Our staff continues to work collaboratively to develop curriculum and formative

assessments as a guide to frame and focus instruction. We continue to offer

instructional strategies and specific opportunities for students to receive help and

enrichment.

MCCSC students continue to demonstrate growth and our state scores continue to

increase along with numbers of students taking more rigorous courses. In addition,

we have focused on career pathways to assist students, parents and families on

suggested courses that will provide strong foundations and allow students to determine

their interests. We congratulate all of our students, staff and parents for their dedicated

efforts in ensuring their student’s learning.

We look forward to another outstanding year for our MCCSC students.

Have a most rewarding 2013-2014 school year!

Professionally yours,

Outside Recess WeatherTemperature – MCCSC uses a temperature

range that is considered too cold for outside recess if temp is 18-23 degrees with wind-chill(depending upon location of playground and sun-shine). Calculation tool for wind chill is found on Department of Education web link: http://www.nws.noaa.gov/om/windchill/.

Threatening Weather – Cancel recess and/or bring students inside in an orderly manner if lightning is spotted or thunder is heard. The sky must be free of thunder and lightning for 30 minutes to be considered clear.

6. What is “laboratory evidence of immunity”?

Laboratory evidence of immunity isabloodtestfordisease-spe-cific immune globulin that mea-sures immunity to disease. This is often used to confirm immunity whenimmunizationrecordsarenot available, or a parent reports a history of disease.

7. Who should interpret lab results for evidence of immunity?

Laboratory results for evidence of disease immunity must be ordered by a physician. The ordering physician is responsible for interpreting the results and determiningadequateevidenceof immunity based on current medical guidelines.

8. Is lab evidence of immunity acceptable for ALL school required immunizations?

No. Lab evidence is NOT acceptable for Diphtheria, Pertussis, or Tetanus. Labora-tory evidence of immunity may beusedinplaceofimmunizationrequirementsforthefollowingschoolrequiredimmunizations:Measles Mumps Rubella Chickenpox Hepatitis A&BPolioSerology testing for chickenpox can only be used to document history of disease

9. What is the four-day grace period and when can it be used?

CDCandACIPallowa4-daygrace period. If a vaccine is given up to 4 days before the minimum recommended age for administration of the vaccine, it can be counted as valid. How-ever, this does not apply to every vaccine and does not change the recommended schedule for routine vaccine administration. The4-daygraceperioddoesnotapplytotheminimum28-dayinterval between 2 live virus vac-cines(MMR,LAIVandVaricella).

10. What is the minimum age for MMR vaccine to be counted as a valid dose?

For the MMR to be counted as

a valid dose, it must have been given on or after the first birthday. The four day grace period is ap-plicable to MMR vaccine.

11. When are 4 doses of Polio

vaccine required? Four doses of polio are con-sidered a complete series. The fourth dose must be adminis-tered on or after the 4th birthday, and be administered at least 6

months after the previous dose for students in grades kinder-garten through 3rd grade for the 2013-2014schoolyear.Three

The minimum intervals between vaccinedosesare:Dose1and2is4weeks(28days)Dose2and3is8weeks(56days)Dose1and3is16weeks(112days)Note: The minimum age for the 3rd dose of Hepatitis B vaccine is 24 weeks (164 days).

13. If there is an extended interval between doses of Hepatitis B, does the student need to start the series over?

No. Onlyalicensedphysician(M.D.orD.O.)canprovideamedicalexemption.Anursepractitioner or a physician assistantunderaphysician’ssupervision can also give a medi-cal exemption.

15. What must a medical exemption contain? Amedicalexemptionisaphysician’scertificationthataparticularimmunizationmaybedetrimentaltothechild’shealth.

It must state in writing that the child has a medical contraindica-tion to receiving a vaccine. Many contraindications to vaccination are not permanent; therefore, a medical exemption should be obtained for the student each schoolyear.Astruemedicalcontraindicationstoimmunizationarevaccine-specific,medicalexemptions must be written for each vaccine that is contrain-dicated. There is a state form providers can use to submit a medical exemption for students.

16. What must a religious objection contain?

Areligiousobjectionmuststatethat the objection to immuni-zationisbasedonreligiousgrounds. Each objected im-munizationmustbespecified.The objection must be in writing, signedbythechild’sparent,anddelivered to the school.

been delayed due to extreme circumstances and that the requiredimmunizationswillnotbe completed by the first day of school. The parent must furnish a written statement and a time schedule approved by a physi-cian or health department; or • Amedicalorreligiousexemp-tion is on file.

19. If a student received a meningococcal vaccine noted from an electronic medical record, how do I know if they meet school requirements, and how do I document this in CHIRP?

Most likely, the student received a doseofthequadrivalentmenin-gococcal conjugate vaccine (MCV4). There are 2 conjugate vaccines: Menactra (MCV4P) andMenveo(MCV4O).If thelot# is included on the record, you can determine which vaccine the student received. Menactra is a Sanofi Pasteur product and lot#’stypicallybeginwitha“U”.MenveoisaproductfromNovar-tisandlot#’sbeginwiththeletter“M”.If thelot#isnotavailable,you may document the dose usingeitherMCV4PorMCV4O;use MCV4P if the vaccine was administered prior to March 2010.Onlydosesofmeningo-coccal vaccine administered on orafterthe10thbirthdaymeettheschoolrequirements.Anydose of meningococcal vaccine administeredpriorto2006isthemeningococcal polysaccharide vaccine (MPSV4). If a child received the meningococcal vaccine overseas, and the record does not specify MCV4, please contacttheISDHImmunizationDivision for further guidance.

20. If a child receives one dose of Varicella vaccine and then subsequently has chickenpox, is a second dose of Varicella vaccine needed?

No. The parent or physician will need to document the history of the disease.

Aparentcanspeakwiththeirchild’shealthcareprovidertoascertain whether the child had chickenpox based upon the disease presentation and transmission. More information on assessing disease history is available at: http://www.cdc.gov/chickenpox/hcp/immunity.html

• Forchildrenenteringgrades6-12,documentationfromaparentissufficient.Awrittenstatement should include date ofdisease,aparent’ssignature,and date of signature. (Example: If a parent cannot recall exact dates, something as simple as stating that disease occurred in the spring of 2000 is acceptable)

Schools do not need to verify the history of disease for stu-dents with current documenta-tion in CHIRP.

Reporting

1. How do I submit my report using CHIRP?

IC20-34-4-6specifiesthatschools are to submit a written report of vaccination data levels. Schools are now reporting their vaccination data levels using CHIRP; there is no need to submit a written report to ISDH

for incomplete immuniza-tions?

No. School exclusion is deter-mined by the school corporation accordingtoIC20-34-4-5.ISDHstrongly recommends adherence to this code.

Yes.Schoolsarerequiredtocollect HPV response forms from parents of sixth grade female studentsunderIC20-34-4-6.However, forms should not includethestudents’nameand should not be returned to ISDH.
