Dear Parents/Guardians: I have been contacting some of you with a reminder that your child child is due for 1-2 additional immunizations before they enter the 7th grade. Remember that during the summertime, doctors go on vacation and/or busy with Sports Physicals so getting an appointment may not be so easy. Even though students are not physically attending school in the building, they still need these immunizations to move into the 7th grade. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact me. Thank you, June Calvert Registrar
