EPS Response to
13 Reasons Why TV Series |
Several weeks ago, Netflix released a TV series based on Jay Asher's novel
13 Reasons Why. This is an extremely popular show that many young people have been discussing. 13 Reasons Why is the story of Hannah Baker's death by suicide told through the 13 tapes she leaves for those she holds accountable for her choice. While the show is compelling and dramatic, the concern many of us that work with children share is that it does not accurately model what we would want or hope individuals to do if they are struggling or are in crisis.

Protect yourself, children from measles
Several cases of measles have been confirmed in Hennepin County by the Minnesota Department of Health. The best preventative measure is to be sure you and your children have been vaccinated with the measles, mumps, rubella (MMR) vaccine. If your child is 1 year old or older and has never received the MMR vaccine, it is not too late to have them vaccinated. Read more on the district website under
Health Services
. Information is also available in
Somali
and
Spanish

Prepare now for 7th and 10th grade immunization requirements
Edina Public Schools has a no shots-no school policy to be in compliance with Minnesota School Immunization Law. To go to school in Minnesota, all students must provide documentation showing they've had the required immunizations or provide a notarized exemption form at the time of enrollment. Families with student's moving into 7th and 10th grades who will not be in compliance will receive an emailed letter noting what immunizations are needed to be in compliance for next fall. For more information on secondary immunization requirements, go to the district website,
