ALL BARRY FAMILIES
Character Strong - Family Dares
I hope you all had a chance to participate in last week's family dare: Identity Alignment.
Take advantage of the beautiful weather this weekend! Try getting outdoors as a family by going to a park, going for a run or bike ride, or simply doing some outdoor chores this weekend as the weather continues to turn in the right direction. I know my family and I will be planting plants this weekend and getting our hands dirty!

5TH GRADE FAMILIES
MIDDLE SCHOOL FAMILIES (6TH-8TH GRADE)
Great Opportunity for 7th and 8th Graders!
Cheer Tryouts (Repeat)
Rising 8th Graders - Required Vaccinations (Repeat)
The state of Missouri requires that all incoming 8th-grade students be vaccinated for Tdap (tetanus, diphtheria, and pertussis) and MCV (meningococcal) prior to starting their 8th grade school year.
All 8th grade students who cannot provide proof of having the Tdap and MCV being given will not be able to start the 2021-2022 school year. Students will NOT receive their schedules at back-to-school events and will NOT be able to start on the first day of school next year until proof of the vaccines being given is provided.
Please reach out to our school nurse with any questions (thomask@platteco.k12.mo.us).
