Parents of students in the 6th Grade:

 The State of Texas requires certain immunizations to be given AFTER the 11^th birthday and/or before entering 7^th grade.  Please see below and send in proof of these immunizations as soon as your child receives them. Please keep this in mind this school year as you visit the doctor and have the opportunity to receive these. Notices will be mailed to all 6th-grade students who haven't received these shots by the end of March 2022.  These mandated immunizations are required before we can give your child their 7th-grade schedule next year. 

• Tetanus, Diphtheria, Pertussis (Tdap): Tdap is required for all students entering 7^th grade if at least 5 years have lapsed since the last dose of a tetanus-containing vaccine (DTap, DPT, DT).  If 5 years have not elapsed since the last dose of a tetanus-containing vaccine at entry into 7^th grade, then this dose will become due as soon as the 5-year interval has passed.  contraindicated.

• Meningococcal Vaccine: 1 dose of quadrivalent meningococcal conjugate vaccine is required on or after the student's 11^th birthday.

ALL medications must be in the original container. All prescription medication must be in the original pharmacy container with the child's name, medication date, and dosing instructions. Medications directed to be administered 3 times per day, or every 8 hours are to be given at home.  There are no "stock medications" in the clinic such as Tylenol, Tums, Neosporin, etc. Medications can only be sent for the student by the parent or guardian.
