📢 Immunization Reminder for the Upcoming School Year
As we prepare for another great school year, this is a friendly reminder that all incoming Preschool, Kindergarten, and 7th grade students must be up to date on their required immunizations before the first day of school.
Please schedule an appointment with your child's healthcare provider, or your local health department as soon as possible if immunizations are needed. Keeping immunizations current helps ensure a healthy and safe learning environment for all students.
