Tdap Notice for Parents of 5th Graders
Virginia Law requires that all students entering
sixth grade receive a booster dose of the Tdap
vaccine prior to the beginning of school. The Tdap vaccine protects against
tetanus (lockjaw), diphtheria, and pertussis (whooping cough) and is usually
given around the age of 11, although it can be given as early as seven years of
age.
In order
for your child to begin 6th grade you will need to submit a copy of your child’s immunization record showing
the Tdap vaccine before the first day of school. It is recommended that all paperwork is submitted
to the school office by June 8, 2018.
A Tdap Notice will be sent home with all 5th Grade students in the progress report envelope on Tuesday, February 6th.
 Do you have a rising Kindergartner?
A 'Survey of Preschool Children' is going home in the January 30th Tuesday Take-Home envelope. If you have a child who will be 5 years old by September 30, 2018, then he or she is eligible for kindergarten. In this case, please complete the survey and return it to your child's school.
