Rising 6th Grader? Immunization Requirement

Will your child be a sixth grader next year?  If so, they most likely will need a booster dose of Tdap (tetanus, diphtheria, acellular pertussis). Sixth grade students cannot begin school in August without documentation of having had the Tdap booster. Parents or guardians of current fifth graders, please check your child’s immunization records and make arrangements with your doctor for the immunization.  Documentation confirming receipt of the vaccination must be turned into the office.
