School Immunization - 2023-2024

Hey parents and guardians!  It's time to start thinking about next year.  Check out what immunizations your child needs based on their grade level Kindergarten-6th, 7th-11th.  If they are missing immunizations-now is the time to get caught up!  Call your doctor or local health department to make appointment.  At the appointment, ask the health care provider to help you fill out the Student Immunization Record form and return it to us.

If you need help finding a clinic, call 211.  Childhood immunizations are covered by most health insurance plans.  If you don't have health insurance or if your insurance doesn't cover vaccines, the Wisconsin Vaccines for Children program may be able to help.

Fall School Immunization Reminder

Will your child be starting Kindergarten or 7th grade next fall?  This summer will be an excellent time to have them visit their health care provider for an exam and to provide the needed vaccines required for school.  While the kids are out of school, it’s much easier to arrange for them to receive these required vaccines.  If you plan to do it early in the summer, you avoid the rush before classes start in the fall.  Provide the dates of their new vaccines to school so we can update their school records.  Now is the time to talk to your provider about the required and recommended vaccines for your child.

Grades 3K-2 End of the Year Countdown Fun

Hi 3K-2nd grade parents,

The 3K-2nd grade teachers are excited to announce that we are continuing with our end of the year tradition.  To celebrate the end of the year, we are going to count down the days through the alphabet.  We will start our countdown on Tuesday, April 25th, with the letter a.  Below is the calendar for the rest of the year and which letter is on which day.  It will be fun to dress in pajamas one day and then bring in a stuffed animal another.  It is our hope that this activity is a great review for our students and they enjoy the last few days together before our summer break.

 

Working in His Service,

Mrs. Fredricks, Mrs. Cigelske, Miss Meyers, Mrs. Truttschel, Miss Scheele
