Parents of 7th Grade Students:
Time is running out for getting documentation for those 7th grade immunizations.  If documentation is not received by August 13, your 7th grader will not receive a schedule nor be able to attend classes.  The students will be held in the cafeteria and parents will be telephoned to pick them up until immunization requirements are met.  So that your child’s education is not interrupted, get those immunizations in as soon as possible.  See Ms. A. Harris in guidance for details.
 
In case your child has not had his/her immunizations for the upcoming school year, Leon County Health Department is providing free back-to-school shots.  Read on to see specific dates and locations.
