7th grade parents,
This message is to inform you of immunization requirements that impact
rising 7th grade students. Students entering 7th grade are required to have one dose
of Tdap (tetanus, diphtheria, pertussis) vaccine and one dose of meningococcal
conjugate vaccine. An up-to-date immunization record indicating that your student
has received these required immunizations is due by the first day of attendance for
the upcoming 2021-22 school year. North Carolina immunization law requires that
students who do not provide proof of vaccination by the 30th calendar day of the
school year be excluded from school until proof is provided.
