The Texas State law requires all children attending school to meet certain immunization requirements and to have those records on file at the school. Your child will not be able to start school unless they have met the immunization requirements.
For children claiming medical exemptions, a written statement by the physician must be submitted to the school. Unless it is written in the statement that a lifelong condition exists, the exemption statement is valid for only 1 year from the date signed by the physician.

Please check with your child’s physician’s office to see if they are up to date on their vaccinations prior to the school year starting. If your child receives any new vaccinations or is new to the school district, please provided an up to date record to the school.

Age appropriate vaccines for Venus Middle School Students:

• Diphtheria/Tetanus/Pertussis (DTaP/DTP/DT/Td/Tdap)
• Polio (POL/IPV)
• Measles, Mumps, and Rubella (MMR)
• Hepatitis B (HepB)
• Varicella (VAR)
• Hepatitis A (HepA) 
• Meningococcal (after 11th Birthday & required by 7th Grade)

All immunizations may be received at the Texas Department of Health at 1601 N. Anglin in Cleburne. The fee is 0-30 dollars depending on your income. They are open most weeks Monday through Friday from 8:00am-11:00am and 1:00pm-4:00pm. The phone number to the clinic is 817-517-2306.
​
For more information, please visit the Texas Department of State Health Services website: https://www.dshs.texas.gov/immunize/school/school-requirements.aspx 

If you have any questions concerning this matter, please call the school office immediately, or contact the nurse at your child’s campus. 

The Huguley Mobile Van will be at our district on July 29 from 8am to 1pm during our new student round up day. Which will be held at Venus High School. This is a great opportunity for to get your child’s immunizations. The Huguley Mobile Van is for students that are currently not insured, have insurance that does not pay for vaccinations or one of the government health plans such as Medicaid, CHIPs etc. You will be asked to fill out a form to affirm that you do not have insurance that covers vaccinations.

Please see the document below for information on how Venus High School meets the requirements for Parenting and Paternity Awareness.
