Wickham Elementary Newsletter
June 3rd, 2022
Message From Principal Daubs
Wednesday your child participated in “Step Up” to their next grade level. They spent time with their 2022-23 homeroom teacher and classmates. Knowing their next teacher and classmates hopefully relieves the anxiety that can come with waiting all summer to find out. Please know that a few changes may occur over the summer. IF your child is being moved to a different classroom, we will communicate that change with you.
Look for your child's homeroom teacher name on the envelope that went home yesterday with report cards.
Have a WONDERFUL summer!
Celebration Time!
ATTENTION ALL 6th GRADE PARENTS:
REQUIRED IMMUNIZATIONS FOR INCOMING 7th GRADERS
Two more vaccines are required for students entering 7th grade: a meningococcal vaccine (MCV) and a tetanus/diphtheria/pertussis booster (Tdap)
Students are NOT allowed to start 7th grade in the fall without documentation of MCV vaccine according to Iowa law.
Please check your child’s immunization record or call their health care provider to find out if they have received the Tdap booster and meningococcal vaccines (MCV) and make an appointment if needed.
These can be completed during their regular health exam, or during their sports physical (which will also be required for all athletes!)
Johnson County Public Health provides immunizations and can be reached at 319-356-6045.
If your child does not have insurance, please reach out to the Healthy Kids Clinic. Call or text 319-631-3204 to make an appointment.
If you have any questions, please contact the Wickham school nurse: hinman.pam@iowacityschools.org.
