Students must be current on all required immunizations before they will be permitted to attend school. Please note that all seventh graders who have not received a tetanus-containing vaccine within the past five years will be required to have a Tdap shot this year. Students enrolling in kindergarten must be five years of age by 12:01 AM on September 1 as required by state law. View our Immunization Requirements here.

VERY IMPORTANT...CURRENT contact information: phone numbers, addresses, parents’ work location(s) and phone, cell phone, parents’ e-mail address, and emergency contact number(s) for someone other than the parents.
