9. School Health Info
All students entering 7th grade will be required to have:
1 dose of Tdap (if at least five years have passed since receiving the last dose of a tetanus-containing vaccine)
2 doses of Varicella (chickenpox) vaccine, unless they had the disease
1 dose of Meningococcal vaccine
2 Hep A
2 MMR.
In order to ensure your child meets the immunization requirements for 7th grade entrance, and to enable you to beat the summer rush and major shortages of vaccine that often occur in late summer, we are advising you to schedule the vaccinations early. 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. If you should have any questions about immunization requirement please contact your child’s school nurse.
