State school code requires all 9th grade and new students to provide proof of a physical examination and mandatory immunizations prior to October 15. Seniors require their second meningococcal conjugate or (MenACWY) immunization after the age of 16. If a student does not comply before October 15, they will be subject to exclusion from school. We ask for families to help in ensuring these requirements are addressed as soon as possible. Please contact East Leyden Nurse's office at mcuevas@leyden212.org or West Leyden Nurse's office at rkazmierczak@leyden212.org with any questions.
