Attention 9th grade students for 2008/2009
State law requires that all ninth grade students have a completed immunization series that includes:
- Series of 5 -diptheria/pertussis/tetanus
- Series of 4 Polio
- Series of 2 measles, mumps, rubella
- Series of 3 hepatitis series (*** New requirement **)
Please contact me if you have any concerns regarding your student's health and wellness. I welcome the opportunity to work with you to accommodate the needs of your child. Just a few reminders:
- Refer to the Immunization requirements for your student to attend school.
- If your student needs to take medication during the school day, a form needs to be completed by yourself and your physician. This authorization needs to be updated on a yearly basis.
- I do routine health assessments on students in the ninth grade and any student new to the district. This includes height, weight, eye exam, hearing screening, and blood pressure. I will contact you if there are any concerns.
- Please have your student return the emergency medical authorization cards, this is vital information if your student becomes ill or sustains an injury during the school day. Please remember to up date these numbers if they change during the course of the school year.
Refer to the Cold versus Flu document to determine whether your child should come to school.
Feel free to call me at 365-5956.
Thanks and have a great year!
