All rising 12th graders must receive their 2nd meningitis immunization by September 10, 2026. Beginning September 11, students who have not received the required immunization or exemption paperwork will not be allowed to return to school until the requirement is met.
If you have questions about your student’s immunization status, please contact our school nurse, Kris Kraft, via email at [email protected]
