Dear Sixth Grade Parents,
This letter is to inform you of the immunization requirements for students turning 11 years old and entering the 7th grade in the fall of 2022. All seventh-grade students will be required to have a dose of Tdap (Tetanus, Diptheria and Pertussis) and Meningococcal (MCV4) vaccine prior to entry into Grade 7. If you decline to have your child immunized a Conscientious

Please contact your health care provider to schedule an appointment to receive the vaccinations needed for their 7th grade school year. Records of these immunizations must be given to your child’s school nurse. If you have any questions

Sincerely,

The Latest From the Library📚
Next week is 6th grade library week.
It is very challenging for us, as parents, to help our kids navigate the cyber world and impress upon them the importance of being wise online. https://www.commonsensemedia.org/ is a great place to help with all things virtual/cyber. From important discussions, to understanding expectations, to setting limits, as well as informing parents about games, apps and websites that could be potentially dangerous for our children. It's a great website to bookmark and explore often. If you have any questions, please contact the Wilkerson librarian at mwetzig@conroeisd.net. Thank you.
