2010 – 2011 School Supply Lists:
Important Message for all 7th Grade Parents!
The Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services recently revised the Immunization Requirements for School Children, specifically for current 7th graders. Effective with the 2010 – 2011 school year the following new requirement will be implemented:
· For all incoming 8th grade students, Tdap (tetanus, diphtheria and pertussis) vaccine will be required if the student has not received a Td booster since August 2008.
If your child has had a recent Tdap vaccine, please bring proof of the immunization to the Smithton Nurse’s Office or have your physician FAX it to 214-3261.
If your child has not received this vaccine, the immunization needs to be completed before they can pick up their Jr. High schedule in August 2010. Tdap immunizations are available from:
· Local Physicians
· Columbia-Boone County Department of Public Health and Human Services, 1005 W. Worley, no appointment necessary; Monday – Friday 8:00 am – 4:30 pm, $15 fee.
Feel free to call the Smithton Nurse’s Office, 214-3266, if you would like the last documented DTaP date we have on record for your student.
