Medical exemption: A student qualifies for a medical exemption if a doctor recommends they not receive a vaccine for a valid medical reason. Detailed documentation from a doctor is required to be submitted to the school office prior to finalizing student enrollment. Exemption applications will be considered on a case-by-case basis with the assistance of the school health and legal team. TCS reserves the right to deny any application due to insufficient evidence.

To initiate a vaccine exemption application please email School Director, Jasmine Smith at info@thecommunityschool.me.
