Please note: Students entering 7th grade will be required to provide proof
of a booster immunization of diphtheria, tetanus and acellular pertussis
(Tdap) given on or after the 10th birthday.
The physical exam form attached to the letter needs to be
completed by the doctor when you take your child to get
his/her required physical exam. Please return the
immunization information and physical exam form to the
school office as soon as this information is available. Since this
information is needed BEFORE YOUR CHILD CAN ATTEND 7TH
GRADE, please schedule your doctor appointments early.

Students in grades 5-8 have
been working on their running
endurance in P.E. class and will
attempt to run a mile at the Race
for Education on April 24th.
Parents can encourage their
children to run at home for
distance or for time. They have
been told not to run alone, so
they may ask a parent to go
along! We are up to about 5
minutes of running time, working
our way up to 10 minutes. The
average person can run an 8-10
minute mile. NOTE: If your child
has asthma please make sure
his/her inhaler is at school and
that a completed medication
authorization form is on file in
the school office for its use.
