Compass' Online and Options programs are independent-study programs with no classroom-based instruction. Under current California guidance, scholars in this setting are not required to provide immunizations for school entry. If your scholar has an immunization record, please provide it so Compass can maintain complete health records.

Learn more from the California Department of Education's immunization guidance.
