6th Grade Announcement
All 6th grade students must get the Tdap vaccine before starting the 7th grade! If your 6th grader has not received the Tdap vaccine, please call your health care provider or clinic (Doctor, Minute Clinic, Urgent Care, Doctor’s Care) to do so as soon as possible. This time of year, especially with Covid, appointments are not as readily available. If your 6th grader has received the vaccine, please turn in an updated vaccination record that includes Tdap as soon as possible. Your 6th grader WILL NOT be allowed to start 7th grade without this Tdap booster anywhere in the state of South Carolina. If you have questions or updated vaccination records, please contact Nurse Rosa.

Cafeteria News
SAA's Cafeteria is awesome! Last week, they celebrated National School Breakfast Week with all kinds of fun activities and decorations. This week, the cafeteria staff has some changes cooked up for the students! Starting Tuesday, March 15th, students will be allowed to serve their own fruits, vegetables, and other side items on their trays at lunch. Students will also have more choices (3 hot entrées daily) beginning Wednesday, March 16th. These changes are being rolled out district-wide. The lunch line may take a little longer, so please be patient with everyone as we adjust to a new normal. Students, don't forget to thank our amazing cafeteria staff!
