Students must receive required immunizations by Sep 17, 2021 to stay in good standing for school attendance.
There will be a separate COVID vaccination clinic this morning from 10 am - 2 pm in the high school student center. A PARENT/GUARDIAN must be present for the student to receive the vaccine if they choose to get vaccinated. It is not required for students to have the covid vaccine.
