Beginning August 1, 2009, the state of Texas added several required vaccines for all students entering 7th grade. One (1) dose of meningococcal vaccine, and one (1) dose of Tdap are required before school attendance. Students entering 7th grade are required to have a booster of Tdap only if it has been five (5) years since their last dose of tetanus-containing vaccine. Td is acceptable in lieu of Tdap if a contraindication to pertussis exists. Also two doses of Hepatitis A are required.

It is a Texas state law that immunizations must be up to date in order for a student to attend school. Your child will not be allowed to attend 7th grade without these immunizations. It is the responsibility of the parent/guardian to provide the updated records to your child's campus. Please consider getting these immunizations early and providing the record to your child's campus in order for them to be input into our computer system. 

If your student did not receive the required vaccinations for the 7th grade, these vaccinations will be required for enrollment into the 8th grade.
