-The second time, the parent or guardian must come to school to get the phone.

Dear Parents/Guardians,
As your child prepares to enter their senior year, we want to remind you of the important immunization requirements for all rising 12th graders. Ensuring your child is up-to-date on their vaccinations is crucial for their health and the safety of our school community.
Required Immunization - Meningococcal Vaccine (MCV4):
All students entering 12th grade must have received their second dose of the Meningococcal (MCV4) vaccine after their 16th birthday. If your child has not yet received this vaccine, please schedule an appointment with your healthcare provider as soon as possible.
Action Needed:
Please submit proof of your child’s immunization to the school nurse before the start of the new school year. If your child has already received the required vaccine, please ensure that the school has an updated immunization record on file.
Failure to provide proof of the required immunizations may result in your child being unable to attend school until the requirements are met.
Thank you for your prompt attention to this important matter. If you have any questions or need further assistance, please do not hesitate to contact your child's school nurse.
