Health & Safety

Are Immunizations Required?

The short answer is YES. Under a strict law, SB277, families will no longer have the option of claiming exemption from California vaccination requirements based on personal beliefs. As of July 1, 2016, all children must be fully immunized before enrolling in ANY public or private school or daycare. Please note that no student will be allowed to attend The Child’s Primary School (or any other public, private or charter school in California) if they do not meet California vaccination requirements—this is the law. Children with medical conditions, who meet specific criteria, may be exempt but must follow very specific process to gain this exemption.

Balancing Health and Safety with Social Development

One of the most important reasons for children to attend school in person is the opportunity for social-emotional learning with peers. This is why over the last several years we took extra steps to enable our students to enjoy the benefits of social interaction and cross-age groupings while remaining mindful of health. We are committed to following school health and safety requirements put forth by the County, as needed.

At TCPS we prioritize the health and well-being of our students, families and staff, while remaining true to our educational mission to offer a nurturing, challenging, interactive learning environment.

“We are really grateful for the hard work you and your team at TCPS have put in over these last few weeks. Our kids really had no interruption from learning which is amazing!” – 2nd & 4th grade parent

“I wanted to thank the teachers for rising to the occasion. Transitioning virtually overnight to an online teaching system that so closely emulated the students’ in-class experience was nothing short of remarkable. From what I’ve observed, you succeeded in keeping him engaged and motivated, and he’s clearly continued to learn at a rate similar to before the quarantine. Hats off to you all and thank you.” – 8th grade parent
