All medical/ medication packets for the 2026-2027 school year may be obtained from the nurse's corner. Doctor’s orders must be renewed every school year and dated after the last day of school.
Should your child have any changes to their health, please complete and return the Medical Update Form .
If your child is entering 6th grade and is 11 years or older, please provide proof that they have received the Tdap and Meningococcal vaccines. These vaccines are usually given after a child turns 11. If your child has already received them, submit a copy of immunization or the attached form signed by their healthcare provider. If your child has not received these vaccines, please schedule a vaccination appointment and submit documentation once the vaccines are given.
Before heading into summer, please take a moment to check our Lost & Found for any missing items. All unclaimed belongings must be picked up by July 2nd. Any items remaining after that date will be donated. Thank you for helping us clear and organize the space for the summer months.
If your family is transferring schools or you have recently moved and need to update your address information, please reach out to Ms. Warren and provide the necessary documentation and updated information as soon as possible. This will help ensure that student records remain accurate and communication for the upcoming school year is received without interruption.
