For Parents/Guardians of 7th Grade Students
The purpose of this letter is to inform you of immunization requirements that will impact incoming 7th grade students. Students entering 7th grade are required to have the 7th grade dose of Tdap (tetanus, diphtheria, pertussis) vaccine and one dose of meningococcal conjugate vaccine for individuals who have not already received those vaccines (age 12 vaccines).
Please contact your health care provider or local health department if your student needs these vaccines. For additional information about the vaccines and diseases they protect against, visit the Center of Disease Control and Prevention’s website.
Please be prepared, on the first day of school, to provide proof of immunization (i.e., Certificate of Immunization [TX Immunization Report]). If we don’t have the actual immunization report, we don’t know that the vaccines were given and your student will be prohibited from attending school until proof is received. Staff will be on campus from 8am until 4pm, Monday through Friday, records can be dropped off prior to the start of school.
Principals are required by law to prohibit any student from attending school until proof of immunization of the required vaccinations have been supplied to the school office. Please be proactive and get your child’s vaccines completed.
If there are any questions, please contact BISD and ask to speak to Marilu Hall, school nurse or James Stevens, Principal.
