ADDITIONAL immunization requirements for entry into 7th Grade:

• 1 dose meningococcal conjugate vaccine (MCV)
• 1 dose of tetanus, diphtheria, acellular pertussis (Tdap)  [if five years have elapsed since last tetanus immunization]

The only exemptions to the school laws for immunizations are:

• medical reasons (requires a written statement from a physician)
• religious beliefs (requires a written statement from a parent)

If your child is exempt from immunizations, he or she may be removed from school during an outbreak.

To avoid exclusion from school, we MUST have a copy of an updated vaccine record that demonstrates that your child has received these two required immunizations. If you have not submitted a 6th grade physical exam form yet, then we do not have your child's most recent vaccine record. Physical exam forms (click here for form) & vaccine records can be mailed or faxed (610-667-4749) to the attention of the school nurse, Kathy Bromley, hand delivered, or scanned & emailed to  bromlek@lmsd.org 

We are already looking forward to the 2013-2014 school year.  All medications must be renewed annually.  Physician orders are required for both prescription and over-the-counter medications.  If you would like your child to have medication available in school, please have your healthcare provider complete LMSD form 28c (click here).

A reminder to rising 7th and 8th grade students who plan to play a sport for the 2013-2014 school year.  Fall sports begin on September 9, 2013. 

Students must have a physical form filled out before they are able to participate in a sport.  The physical form can be located on the Welsh Valley School Website.  See form here.  

Wolf Performing Arts Center (Wolf PAC) will conclude its 2012-2013 production season with a fabulous production of the legendary musical Cats.
