💙📚 Bluejay Families – Don’t Forget Those Required Immunizations! 📚💙
As we get ready for another great school year, please make sure your child’s required immunizations (or exemption paperwork) are completed before the first day of school.
Required immunizations include:
🩺 Kindergarten: DTaP/Polio & MMR/Varicella
🩺 8th Grade: Tdap & MCV
🩺 Seniors: MCV
⚠️ Missouri state law requires proof of immunizations or an approved exemption to be on file before students can begin classes.
If your student still needs vaccinations, now is the perfect time to schedule an appointment with your healthcare provider or local health department.
Let’s start the school year healthy, prepared, and ready to learn! 💙🖤 #BluejayNation #BackToSchool #ReadyToLearn
