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.

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.
