Attention all parents of 6th grade students!
Immunization requirements for school attendance in Ohio have changed!!
All students entering 7th grade in the fall of 2017 are required by Ohio law to show proof that they have received both of the following vaccinations BEFORE starting school:
· Tdap vaccine
· Meningococcal vaccine (A,C,Y,W-135)
ANY 7TH GRADE STUDENT WHO HAS NOT HAD THE Tdap AND MENINGOCOCCAL VACCINE(A,C,Y,W-135) WILL BE EXCLUDED FROM SCHOOL UNTIL PROOF OF VACCINATION IS RECEIVED BY THE DISTRICT NURSE.
You can obtain the immunizations from your own physician, or from the Madison County Health Department where no one is turned away for inability to pay. Call 740-852-3065 for an appointment. These immunizations can be obtained anytime from now until the first day of 7th grade. I encourage you to take care of this requirement now as appointments fill up fast as summer approaches.
Please send an updated shot record to the school once these vaccines have been received.
