IMMUNIZATIONS

REMINDER

One great thing about summer is

that all of that sunshine can help

heal some little pains...say like

getting immunizations. Ice cream

helps too!

Summer break is a great time to make sure

your student is up to date with their immun‐

izations. All it takes is a quick call to your stu‐

dent’s health care provider.

Exclusion date this coming school

year is February 19th. If your student

does not have all the required immun‐

izations by that date he/she will be ex‐

cluded from school and unable to re‐

turn until they are current.

So please, please, please make sure your stu‐

dents immunizations are up to date.

Box Tops For Education

If you have been clipping and saving, it’s not too late to turn in” Box Tops For Education! Look for the coupons on specially marked boxes. Visit btfe.com for a complete list of participating products. Thank you for your help rais-ing money for our school!
