JBD FOCUS NEWSLETTER

John B. Dey receives the highest honor-The EXEMPLARY AWARD!
We are so proud of our John B. Dey PTA! What a fabulous year this has been. The efforts have been noticed by the city as the JBD PTA received the Exemplary Award, the Excellence Award, the Cardinal Award, and the Merit Award!
I personally cannot thank Jennifer Graham and the outgoing PTA board for all of their hard work these last two years! Thanks to all who contributed to boost our instructional program with your time, efforts, and donations. It was a record winning year and the real winners are your children.
I would also like to congratulate and welcome the 2017-2018 PTA Executive Board:
President: Melissa McCormick
Treasurer: Stephanie Dillman
Vice President-Programs: Susan Wilson
Vice President-Membership: Daniella Seifert
Secretary: Stephanie Sager
We look forward to a fantastic year with your PTA leadership!
Now we will wind down the year with the Fifth Grade Beach Bash and the Moving on Ceremonies! The year has FLOWN!
Once again, JBD would not be as successful as it is without the support from the PTA. On behalf of the faculty and staff, I want to say thank you again.

CLINIC CORNER
5th Graders!!! Are you ready for Middle School???
Parents, it’s not too early to think about Middle school.
This is an early reminder for all 5th graders that the Tdap immunization is required to enter 6th grade. Call your Primary Care provider and schedule an appointment to get this done.
Proof of the immunization can be dropped off by your child to the clinic anytime up until June 15, 2017. If you get it done after the last day of school or into the summer, please take it to your Middle School as soon as you get it; DON'T DELAY!.
Your child will not get a class schedule mailed to them in the summer without proof that they had this immunization. They will not be able to start school without this immunization.
Don’t Delay. Plan ahead and schedule the appointment. Bring proof to the school nurse before the last day of school and I will put the immunization information into your child’s health record for middle school. A good time to get this done is during school breaks .
