If your student is in need of a required vaccination, MCHD has agreed to provide these vaccinations at the clinic on the 10th of February. Please contact adewitt@nyssasd.org to sign up by February 9th at 4pm. A count is required to be provided so they know how many and what vaccinations to bring.
If your student is in need of a required school vaccination, please make sure to update your student's record in their school office after they have received it. Thank you.
If you have any questions, please let me know.
Have a great weekend,
