Whooping cough update!
7th-12th grade students who have not provided proof of TDap/Whooping Cough vaccinations are in jeopardy of having to leave school. The 30-day extension from your school's start day, granted by the State, is about to expire. Here's a list of clinics that can help families meet the requirement. Parents may seek a waiver for personal or medical reasons.
I hope to see you at one of the many events coming up.
Stay In Touch!
