We strive to keep all of our students as healthy and safe as possible. One of the best ways one can do this is being fully immunized. The state requires students enrolled in school to be up to date on their childhood immunizations.
Any new enrollee, 7th grader, or kindergartener not up to date will have their classes closed upon return from winter break on January 6th if required documentation is not provided. Please see attached flyer for information about our upcoming immunization clinic. If your child is not up to date please make an appointment with their doctor, the heath department, or make an appointment at our upcoming clinic to avoid class closures.

'Tis the season for coughs, colds, and germs! Please remember to screen your students for illness in the morning before sending them to school. We will continue to take every precaution to keep all of our scholars and staff safe and healthy. There are many diseases that can spread easily from one person to another such as COVID, Flu, RSV, Hand-Foot-Mouth Disease, Enterovirus (Stomach virus), and many more.
Children who go to school while sick may put others at risk of becoming ill themselves. A sick child, also does not learn well at school. Children need to stay at home when they begin to show signs of illness and should be seen by a healthcare provider if symptoms persist or worsen. Please follow district Health Services guidelines for addressing ill students and symptoms.
On November 11th, we honor Veterans Day, paying tribute to the brave military veterans who have served in the United States Armed Forces. This day, which coincides with Armistice Day and Remembrance Day, marks the end of World War I hostilities on the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month in 1918. Originally known as Armistice Day, it was renamed Veterans Day in 1954 to honor all American veterans. Today, we express our deepest gratitude to those who have selflessly served our nation. 🇺🇸 #VeteransDay #ThankYouVeterans #FlintCommunitySchools
