This is a reminder for parents/guardians of current 6th-grade students regarding immunization requirements for attendance in 7th grade. This information is sent out early so the required immunizations can be scheduled at your child’s next wellness visit. 

For attendance in 7th grade, students will need 1 dose of tetanus, diphtheria, acellular pertussis (Tdap) and 1 dose of meningococcal conjugate (MCV) prior to the first day of their 7th grade year. Please visit the HSD Health/Nursing Services website or contact your school nurse if you have any questions.

For Earth Day last week, Miss Reigel’s class discovered how we could help the earth. One thing we learned was that planting wildflowers can help birds and insects. We learned all about what plants need to grow and how to take care of them. Planting our own wildflowers was just a fun way to end the week. Please enjoy some pictures below:
