Seventh Grade Vaccine Reminder
Seventh grade students are required to have an adult Tdap shot before they will be fully registered for the 2023-2024 school year. This means parents may fill out the registration but it will not be complete until the PCPS Registration Center, 111 West Grand Avenue, has received the updated shot record.
Students will not be permitted to be enrolled in classes, pick up schedules or attend the first day of school without updated shot records on file.
If you are the parent or guardian of a seventh-grade student, please ensure your child’s shot records are up-to-date and provide a copy to the Registration Center. If parents want to register completely online, this is also an option. Visit the PCPS website to register and send in a scanned copy of your child’s updated shot record to registration@pcps.us. Information can also be brought directly to WMS.
Exemption forms are available for personal, medical or religious reasons. Please contact your child’s school for more information.
