Immunization Requirement Reminder:
Michigan law requires school aged students to be up to date with their childhood immunizations. Every student is required to have up to date immunization records on file. If these records are not provided, that child is not allowed to continue attending class. If you have received letters and calls about your child not being up to date, your child's classes will be closed upon return from winter break. Please see attached documents for more information on how to ensure your child's classes do not get closed. Our goal is for no child to have to miss class time due to this requirement. Please visit your child's primary care doctor or the local health department to receive the required documentation. I hope everyone has a beautiful and restful break!
