Virtual kindergarten roundup is in process for incoming Cedar Falls kindergartners. We have a great class of kindergartners coming in the 2021-2022 school year! Parents and guardians need to fill out an immunization form prior to the Visit Day on May 19. We would also like to have the Health Update form then, especially if your child has allergies or other health concerns. If you have any further immunization questions or health concerns, feel free to call your building secretary or school nurse.
Spring is in the air, and with that comes time to schedule sports physicals and immunizations:
-
Students going out for sports must have their sports physicals turned in before they can start practice. Make sure to look ahead for your child’s sport start date and schedule their physical with their primary care provider or go to www.mercyone.org/northeastiowa/find-a-doctor to find a provider today.
- Students moving up to 7th grade are required to receive both a TDaP and a Meningitis vaccine.
- Students starting 12th grade are required to have a second Meningitis vaccine.
- Once again, give your school nurse a call if you have questions.
Don’t forget to pick up your child’s remaining medications at the end of the year. We may send emergency medications home in their backpacks, such as epi pens, inhalers, or diastat. All other medications must be picked up by an adult or we will dispose of them.
Thank you and have a healthy spring!
