Health Notice for
Parents of Rising Sixth-graders: All students entering sixth grade
who are 11 years of age must have received the Tdap
vaccine. The vaccine may be given anytime after a child
turns 11, so the Schalmont Middle School nurse
encourages children who are eligible to take it
well before the start of sixth grade.
Written proof is required.
