May 17, 2018
Greetings!

As summer break nears, there are two planning notifications from the health clinic:

  • Parents whose child has medication at the school or in the health clinic need to pick it up on or before Thursday, May 24. By Ohio law, children are not allowed to transport these medications to and from school. Because of this, medication must be picked up by an adult or the medication is required to be wasted or destroyed.

  • Students in the Class of 2019 are required to have a second dose of the meningitis/menactra vaccine before September 4. If your child received their first dose of the vaccine after the age of 16, your student will not need a second dose.

  • Students in the Class of 2022 are required to have one dose of the meningitis/menactra vaccine before September 4.

Please contact the health clinic if you have any questions about the above items.

When we have a firm delivery date, we will notify students through the Student News Site, recent graduates through email, and parents through  Parent Weekly  regarding distribution .  We apologize for the tardiness of this issue and for any inconveniences this delay may have caused you and your family.

Lifeguards and Swim Instructors Needed

The Downtown Y is looking for summer lifeguards & swim instructors. We realize that most kids don’t have lifeguard certifications and that the class is expensive. Therefore the Y will pay for lifeguard certification training for those who we hire and are proficient swimmers. We are also in desperate need of swim instructors at the Downtown Y for the months of June and July. Training is provided. It is our desire that anyone hired will want to stay on during the school year, but that is not required. Applications can be completed online . For more information, contact me.
