Attention Parents of 2025-26 8th Graders:
State law requires that students receive the Tdap and MCV4 (meningitis) vaccines before they enter the 8th grade.
You must provide this documentation to the middle school nurse before your child starts 8th grade.
Please note: your child will not be allowed to start the 2025-2026 school year until this documentation is received. Contact Karla Bauer, RN (MS school nurse), if you have questions or need a copy of your child's immunization record at 272-8245 x 2350.
For Students Attending Summer School:
All required immunizations must be completed by May 27. Please ensure that documentation of these immunizations is submitted to the school nurse by this deadline.
Failure to meet this requirement may prevent students from attending summer school. Be sure to take care of this well in advance!
Immunization Opportunity - Tuesday, May 20, 5:00-7:00 p.m.
Staff from the Stone County Health Department will be available at the High School to provide the Tdap and Meningitis vaccines to future 8th and 12th graders. This event will take place at the same time as Free Physical Night.
You will need to provide a copy of your child's immunization record.
If you have any questions, please contact Nurse Karla or Nurse Rebecca.
