As a reminder, all students are required to have a Tdap (Tetanus, Diphtheria, and Pertussis) booster before their 13th birthday.

If your child has already received this vaccine, please submit an updated immunization record to the school nurse.

Families who choose not to vaccinate for religious reasons must submit a completed religious exemption form prior to the student’s 13th birthday.

Thank you for helping us keep all students healthy and in compliance with state immunization requirements!

As we continue to host home sporting events at both the middle school and high school, we ask for your partnership in helping create a positive and safe environment for everyone.

Please encourage your child to support our teams by cheering from the stands. We’ve seen an increase in students leaving the seating areas to run through hallways, bathrooms, and outdoor spaces, which requires supervision and disrupts the event experience.

Help us reinforce the importance of school spirit, respect for our facilities, and good sportsmanship by having a conversation with your child about appropriate behavior during games.

Thank you for your continued support of our students and teams!
