Take care of school-required vaccines now, so you can head into summer with one less thing on your list.
Empire Union School District is partnering with Stanislaus County Public Health to offer a free back-to-school immunization clinic for our students and families.
We’ll be hosting this at our District Office, and no appointment is needed. Families can come in and take care of required vaccines all in one place.
We know it can be hard to find appointments closer to the start of the school year, so this is a simple way to get it done early and avoid the last-minute rush.

We’re so excited to celebrate Cheyanne Vaka, a 5th grade student at Capistrano Elementary, as this year’s Student Spotlight!
Cheyanne shows up each day with a strong sense of responsibility and care for those around her. She puts in the effort, stays focused, and is someone her classmates can count on. Her kindness and willingness to support others help create a welcoming, positive environment in her classroom and across campus.
Cheyanne’s growth is supported by the encouragement and care she receives both at school and at home. When students feel supported in multiple spaces, it can make a meaningful difference, and Cheyanne is a great example of that.
Congratulations to Cheyanne and the Vaka family, we’re proud to celebrate you.
