Very Important Information for 6th Grade Parents & Students
From Nurse Rosa: If you know that your child has had the Tdap vaccine that is required for attendance in 7th grade, please call your pediatrician/family doctor and have them fax an updated and complete immunization record to 864-332-5329. Nurse Rosa has very few forms with the Tdap recorded on them.
If you are unsure, please contact your doctor and make an appointment! Please do this as soon as possible to avoid any problems regarding school entrance next year. DHEC does consider this a “suspension” if you miss school days due to not having the vaccine. You will not be able to start or attend school for the 7th grade year until this vaccine is completed.

Reading Recommendations
Braced by Alyson Gerber
Rachel Brooks is excited for the new school year. She's finally earned a place as a forward on her soccer team. Her best friends make everything fun. And she really likes Tate, and she's pretty sure he likes her back. After one last appointment with her scoliosis doctor, this will be her best year yet.
Then the doctor delivers some terrible news . . . (Goodreads)
Dear Isaac N by Rachel Hruza
As if seventh grade isn't hard enough, Truth Trendon learns she has to wear a back brace to help her worsening scoliosis. She decides gravity is to blame for curving her spine and ruining her life. Thanks for nothing, Isaac Newton! Truth's brace is hard plastic, tight, and uncomfortable. She has to wear a t-shirt under it and bulky clothes over it, making her feel both sweaty and unfashionable. She's terrified that her classmates are going to find out. (Goodreads)
