Nurse's Note
A Special Note from the Nurse
Rising 5th Graders Tdap Reminder:
A Tdap booster shot is required for sixth grade students before the start of school in September. Please give proof of this immunization to your school nurse before the end of the school year. If your child has not received this immunization before the end of school in June, you will need to give the documentation to the middle school staff. Meeting this requirement as soon as possible will help your child have a smooth transition to middle school. Unfortunately, no sixth grade student will receive their home room assignment until written verification of the Tdap immunization or a Doctor’s note for students with birthdays after Sept 4th is received. These students will be excluded from school in September until immunization requirement is satisfied. Please contact Mrs. Iris N. Matos, our school nurse, if you have any questions.
Grade Books
Grade Book Message to Parents
Dear Parents:
As you may know, we are transitioning to an electronic gradebook this year so if you do not see grades for your student, please be patient. We continue to work through some challenges with the transition to the new system and all grades will soon be posted. Please contact your teacher directly for an update on your child's progress.
Thank you.
