What Will The School Need To Enroll My Child?
1. An official copy of the student’s Social Security card/number (A parent or guardian
    who objects to the incorporation of the social security number into the school records of a child
    may have the requirement waived by signing a statement objecting to the requirement.);

2. Immunization/Health Screening Requirements:
    Georgia law requires that each student present the following forms prior to being enrolled:

    A. Georgia Department of Human Resources Form 3231 “Certificate of Immunization” showing
        that the child has adequate protection against varicella (chicken pox), Hepatitis B,
        diphtheria, pertussis (whooping cough), tetanus (lockjaw), polio, measles, rubella (German
        measles) and mumps.

        Further guidelines:
        • The Certificate of Immunization (Form 3231) must be signed by a physician licensed under
           the laws of Georgia OR by a qualified employee of a county health department.
        • A child who cannot be immunized because of a medical disability can be given a special
           certificate by a licensed physician or a county health department. If a child is not
           immunized for religious reasons, an exemption waiver must be obtained from the School
           District.
        • Immunization Requirements for students entering sixth grade:
           Students entering the sixth grade must have a certificate showing proof of two measles,
           two mumps and rubella vaccinations administered since the first birthday. Sixth graders
           must also have a certificate for 2 varicella (chicken pox) vaccinations or history of
           disease or blood test and date by the health care provider.

    C. For students transferring from another state or country.
        Students transferring to a Cobb County school from another state or country must obtain a
        certificate from a Georgia licensed physician or the Cobb County Public Health.
        • A parent may present a written, dated immunization record attested to by a licensed
           physician or an authorized representative of a health agency of another state or country
           that adequate immunizations have been received by the student. Cobb County Public
           Health will place the record on file and issue a Certificate of Immunization, and the student
           can be admitted to school.
