If you have a child going into 7th or 12th grade for the 2025-2026 school year, there are additional immunizations that are required for them to be in school.
If your child is entering 7th grade they need an adolescent whooping cough booster shot (Tdap) and a Meningococcal shot.
If you have a student entering 12th grade.
As a reminder, 12th grade students are required to be up-to-date on the meningococcal conjugate vaccine. In addition to the required immunizations for Kindergarten, 1st, and 7th grade, students must meet the following immunization requirement prior to 12th grade admission:
Students who received the initial dose of meningococcal conjugate vaccine at the recommended age (11-12 years), or before 16 years of age, must have two (2) valid doses of MenACWY.
Students who received the initial dose of meningococcal conjugate vaccine at 16 years of age and older, or those who have never received a dose, must have one (1) valid dose of MenACWY.
A valid up to date immunization record or Idaho School Immunization Exemption Form is required for students to register for school.

Health Policies
Please send your children to school in good health. Students often feel fine in the morning but may become ill as the day wears on. A student will be sent home if they are experiencing any of the following symptoms:
1. A fever of 100.4 or greater
2. Nausea, Vomiting, and/or Diarrhea
3. Swollen tonsils
4. Red Throat, especially when accompanied by a fever
5. Injury that requires a doctor's care ( examples: broken bones, deep wounds)
6. Suspicious rashes
7. Head Lice (Adults and/or nits present)
If you receive a call from the office telling you your child is ill, please pick them up as soon as possible. They are usually much more comfortable at home and we have limited space in our nurse's office. It is also important that you have emergency contacts on file in the office in the event that we are unable to reach you by telephone.
If you find that your child has lice, please call the school to let them know. You need to keep them home to treat and they will need to stay home from school until they are nit free. Once you no longer find nits, the child can return to school and is required to come straight to the office to be checked and declared nit free to return to class.
