NJ STATE LAW

  • New Jersey state law requires that all children attending public or private school must be up to date with their immunizations.  When you register your child at Hackensack Middle School we will review their immunization record and inform you if there any immunizations that are needed in order to begin attending class.

    PLEASE NOTE: at age 11 years and entering Grade 6, every child will be required to receive two additional immunizations, ie TDAP AND MENACTRA. Notices are mailed to each student on or around their eleventh birthday AND at the end of Grade 5. If you have any questions when you receive our letter, please call us @ 201-646-7866 or your Pediatrician. THERE IS NO GRACE PERIOD. STUDENTS WILL NOT BE ABLE TO BEGIN GRADE 6 WITHOUT THESE IMMUNIZATIONS.
