Message from the Nurse: The Department of Public Health has added a new influenza vaccine requirement for all grades of school from Kindergarten through Grade 12. This requirement was put in place to reduce influenza-related morbidity and to reduce the overall impact of respiratory illness in a population still facing the COVID-19 pandemic. Students will be expected to have received an influenza vaccine for the current influenza season (July-June) by December 31st unless they have a medical or religious exemption.
All Kindergarten, grade 3 and grade 7 students must have an updated physical and immunizations on file.
All physicals and immunization records must be fax sent to the school nurse Sarah Chysna, at schysna@learningfirstcharter.org or fax t0 (508) 753-9679.
