REMINDER
GRADE SIX IMMUNIZATIONS
Dear Parents/Guardians of Sixth Graders:
Please be informed that the required immunizations for your child/children need to be documented from your doctor before the first day of school or sooner.
The following immunizations are required for every child born on or after January 1, 1997 and entering or attending grade SIX as follows:
1: ONE DOSE of Tdap (Tetanus, diphtheria, acellular pertussis) given no earlier than the 10th birthday. A child does not need this Tdap dose until five years after the last DTP/Dtap or TD dose.
2: ONE DOSE of a meningococcal-containing vaccine. This applies to students when they turn 11 years of age and attending Grade Six.
When your child has received these two immunizations you must send or bring in written proof from your physician to the school nurse/main office before the start of the new school year.
Any student who does not have these immunizations will not be able to sit in their classroom on the first day of school. This is a state mandated regulation.
Thank you in advance for your cooperation in this matter.
