This is an important message for guardians of 6th grade students:I hope this message finds you and your family healthy and safe. As of 2012-2013, state law and rules require that all children entering grades seven and twelve must show proof of immunizations against diphtheria, pertussis, tetanus, and meningococcal disease unless properly medically exempted.
If your child does not currently have these immunizations on file at the school. In order for your child to attend seventh grade this fall, an updated copy of your child’s shot record MUST be submitted prior to the start of your child’s seventh grade school year. An updated physical exam and dental exam is also recommended. If you have not already done so, please make an appointment with your student’s doctor, or contact the health department, to get the required shots as soon as possible. This will ensure a smooth transition into the seventh grade in the fall. If your child has received these shots, please send in the updated record ASAP. Shot records can be faxed or mailed to the school. The school fax number and address are located on the Mineral County Schools website. The fax number is 304-788-4225. If any questions, please contact the school at 304-788-4220 EXTENSION 17 and leave a message for the school nurse.
Thank you and best regards to you and your family.
