Please send a copy of your child’s vaccination record to the school nurse once the vaccinations are completed. Please keep in mind that all immunizations must be completed and proof of immunizations received by the school nurse in order for your child to obtain their 7th grade schedule and start school. REMEMBER NO SHOTS, NO SCHOOL, NO EXCEPTIONS. Contact your child’s school nurse with any questions you may have. If your child has already received these vaccinations, please verify with your child’s current school nurse to ensure our records are up to date.
