Parents, Make Sure Your Child Is Current On Immunizations

Attention Parents!!! If your child becomes 4 years old before August 12th, please update his/her immunizations with your doctor as instructed at spring registration.  Bring a copy of the updated record to your child's school nurse. If your child is 11-18 years old and the last shots he/she received were in kindergarten, they are due a Tdap booster, the meningitis vaccine and possibly the varicella (chickenpox) vaccine.  Please schedule an appointment with your doctor to update these immunizations.  Please send a copy of the updated shot record in a sealed enveloped marked "School Nurse" at the beginning of next school year.

If you did not give a shot record to the school because it was lost to Katrina, you must provide proof of your child's age appropriate immunizations.  We will EXCLUDE students without appropriate updated shot records in August. Thank you for your cooperation, School Nurses
