6th Grade Students and T-DAP Vaccines
6th graders will need to get the T-DAP immunization BEFORE they begin the 7th grade! If the office has not received immunization documentation by the first day of school next year, students will not be able to start school and will be suspended. Please schedule an appointment early; the heath department is only providing immunizations a few days a month.
After your 6th grader receives the immunization, please get the SC Department of Immunization record and turn it in to Robin Rosa as soon as possible. For more information, please email the Southwood Academy school nurse, Robin Rosa. The parent letter from SC DHEC is below.
