Cash or checks are acceptable from non-Medicaid families. No charge cards are accepted. A receipt will be provided for families who have private insurance vaccine coverage so they can get insurance reimbursement.

Water Bottles and Heat
Just a reminder, that on these hot days, it is recommended that you send a water bottle to school with your child each day. Just a 5% decrease in hydration can lead to headaches, upset stomachs and decreased concentration. School policy allows students to have a water bottle in class with them, however only water is allowed. Thank you in advance for your assistance in keeping your student, healthy and hydrated during warm weather. |

New Seventh Grade Immunization Requirement |

Dear Parent/Guardian,
As your school nurse, I wanted to make you aware, that the State of Ohio is implementing a new adolescent immunization requirement. Effective with the 2010-2011 school year one dose of Tdap (Tetanus, diphtheria and acellular pertussis adolescent and adult formulation) vaccine will be required prior to entry into the seventh grade. This dose is intended to be administered as a booster dose for students who have completed the required doses of the initial series of DTaP/DT/Td vaccine.
We are notifying you of this requirement now, so that you may take advantage of the many walk in clinics, that the Fairfield Department of Health will be offering this month and throughout the summer. You may also choose to take your child to your private physician for this required immunization. A letter is being mailed to the parents of current sixth grade students with a list of upcoming Health Department Clinics.
The Middle School must receive written documentation showing that your child has received the vaccine during the first week of school in the fall. If you do not provide proof of the immunization your child may be excluded from school until proof is provided.
For further information you may contact the Health Department, your physician or myself at 740-756-9231. Thank you for your cooperation in this matter.
Sincerely,
Debbie Hatch, BSN, RN |
