FROM Nurse Jimenez
To 6th grade parents,
Only 20 more students to reach our goal of 100% compliance!!! Thank you to everyone who has turned in your child's shot record. It is appreciated!
In order to comply with entry requirement for 7th Grade, students will be required to have the following immunizations:
Tdap (diphtheria, tetanus and pertussis)
Meningococcal (Must clearly indicate: MCV4, Menveo, Menactra)
I will be putting monthly reminders in your student’s backpack if I do not have documentation of the required immunizations. If you do not receive a reminder, your child is good to register for 7th grade. Please provide this documentation ASAP.
Students cannot start 7th grade without these immunizations. Tdap and meningococcal vaccine for all 6th graders going to 7th grade will be due by May 12, 2023. You may send your updated shot record to veronica.jimenez@allenisd.org.
Thank you for your attention on this matter.

The Character Trait for the month of April is:
The character trait for the month of April is Positive Attitude. Positive Attitude is a mental thought process of focusing on the bright side of life or finding the good in everything and everyone.
The way we think about ourselves, situations, upcoming events, etc. can affect the outcomes, our experiences, and the way we handle life. Having a positive attitude means that you approach life with confidence and optimism.
Talk with your family about different situations in which positive attitudes could make a different!
“Attitude is a little thing that makes a big difference.” ~Winston Churchill
