Aristoi Booster Club (ABC) is partnering with Upper School families to provide community supplies on an as-needed basis. Instead of purchasing community supplies for each of your Upper School students, merely pay the subscription fee and ABC provides the supplies where and when they are needed. The Community Supplies are included at the bottom of each grade-specific school supply list.

*Student School Supplies are not included.

Please direct questions about this program to the Aristoi Booster Club at specialprojects@aristoiboosterclub.org.
Authorization to Administer Medication

A new Authorization to Administer Medication Form and/or Action Plan signed and dated by a physician is required at the beginning of every school year. A student requiring an emergency medication (ie EpiPen) for a medical condition is not allowed to attend school until the medication and form have been received and processed by Student Care. Parents may access and print Student Care forms here.
REMINDER: Immunization Requirements

Please review school immunization requirements to ensure your child is properly immunized for the 2022- 2023 school year. Note that required immunizations include the 7th grade immunization for Tdap and Meningococcal.

If immunizations are required for your student, you must turn in a copy of your student(s) shot record or a notarized Affidavit for Exemption of Immunizations to Student Care no later than August 11, 2022, the first day of school. Requests for an Exemption of Immunizations can be found here.

If you have any questions, please contact Mrs. Sarver.
