  • A quick reminder for families considering a COVID-19 vaccine for their child: please check with your healthcare provider or pharmacy before heading in for vaccination. Current CDC guidance indicates that vaccine requirements can vary depending on your child’s age, state, and the vaccination provider. Some locations may require a prescription or provider order, so checking ahead can help avoid any surprises.

           Thank you for helping us keep our students healthy and ready to learn!
