*Please note:
For the 2011-12 school years, a new State law now requires that all incoming 7th-12thgraders get a pertussis booster/immunization, called Tdap, before entering school. Students who have not received this immunization/booster shot prior to the beginning of the school year will not be allowed to start school. The pertussis booster protects the kids against 3 diseases: tetanus, diphtheria, and whooping cough. This vaccine can help keep your child and family protected.
Once all the requirements are met, the admission office will review the student’s files and will notify family of the decision.
