Important Information
School-Site Vaccination Event
Students 16 & older will have an opportunity to get their first vaccination shot on campus on May 13th (9:00 - 12:00) through a program with the Mayor-President's office. Information about permission slips and guidelines will be coming next week. This vaccination event is NOT limited to students. Faculty, staff, and parents are welcome to get their 1st shot of the Pfizer vaccine.
Getting students vaccinated is a major step in returning school to a sense of normalcy. Students who complete vaccination (both shots) are not required to quarantine, cutting down on interruptions to learning.
Parents can print and complete the Consent and Pre-Screening Form (attached to this post) and send to school with the student or students can pick up a copy of the consent form from the Nurse's Office to bring home.
