An Important Message From Traci Early, Shelby County Public Schools, District Health Nurse:
Parents and Guardians,
Earlier today you received an email from our district health nurse Traci Early regarding the new vaccines your student may need. The Department of Public Health has a
new requirement for every Middle School aged student to have evidence of
receiving 2 Hepatitis A vaccinations. Please review the document and speak
with your child's pediatrician to determine if your child needs any
vaccinations. The Hepatitis A vaccination series is comprised of two
vaccinations received 6 months apart. The CDC has recommended this vaccination series for several years, so many children have already received this two dose series but since it was not a requirement for school attendance it was not listed on most immunization certificates. A new immunization certificate will
need to be provided to your child's school.
This requirement is in addition to the Tdap and Meningococcal vaccinations that are required between the ages of 11-12.
Thank you for your time and attention in making sure your child is meeting all of the vaccination requirements for school attendance.
If you have any questions regarding this, please email Traci Early at the address below.
Sincerely,
Traci Earley RN CCM
District Health Coordinator
Shelby County Public Schools
AP Registration Is Still Open:
Students may register for their AP exams starting Friday, December 1, 2017- February 16, 2018. Students will register online through our Total Registration site: www.TotalRegistration.net/AP/182400
This site allows students to pay with a debit or credit card, or a check. The cost per exam is $98.00. If you are on Free and Reduced lunch stop by and see Mrs. Settles or Mrs. Purdom for more information on how to register. Students new to AP must register on the site and create an account. If students have account trouble or cannot remember a password, send them to me. If you would like help with showing your students how to navigate the site, please let me know. We have been using this registration method for about six years, so most of our students are used to it and will just need to log in and register for the exams. If you have any questions about this process, please do not hesitate to let me know.
