The nurse is sending home letters this week and next for students that need vaccines before we come back from Christmas break. If your student has not had a vaccine since they've turned 16 years old, then they will need the required second dose of the meningitis vaccine. Please contact your local health department or the school nurse if you have any questions about your child's shot record. #EagleSpirit #WatchUsSoar
