ATTENTION CURRENT 6th GRADE STUDENTS BECOMING 7th GRADE STUDENTS IN 2022-2023 SCHOOL YEAR.

 

This is a reminder that all 7th grade students must have proof of T-dap immunization submitted before your student begins school.  Please bring T-dap proof ASAP to avoid the rush in August.

 

AB354 Requires Tdap Shot for 7th Graders

 

For the 2022-2023 school year all students entering, advancing or transferring into 7th grade will need proof of an adolescent whooping cough booster immunization (called "Tdap") for school in the fall.  Every doctor's office has a simple form ready to complete and can be faxed directly to the LCMS office at 925-837-3512.  This requirement applies to all public and private schools.  The new requirement was signed into law in 2010.

 

The Tdap requirement affects all incoming 7th grade students in California, so it's important to avoid the back-to-school rush and to get children vaccinated now.  Tell other parents with children in the 6th grade about the requirement and encourage them to schedule the shot early, before summer.  If your child has already received this vaccination, please send in the documentation NOW and do not wait until summer or the start of the school year.  We are requesting all documentation to be turned in BEFORE August 4, 2021 so that there is ample time to input all of the information.  You may also scan the document and send it to either Traci Varanini or to Anju Lashkari, School Nurse at LCMS at their email addresses given below.

 

The California Department of Public Health and the California Department of Education have been working collaboratively on this important measure.  Information on the new Tdap requirement, including information on where to get free or low cost vaccines, forms and FAQs are available.

 

Please email Traci Varanini@  tvaranini@srvusd.net with any questions at 925-855-6810 or Anju Lashkari, RN, C-PNP at alashkari@srvusd.net.

 

Thank you for your attention in this very important matter.

Families interested in donating now to support lower class sizes in 2022-23 can now contribute to: FutureFund Store.  

 

Working with the principal, we provide funds to purchase extra class sections.  A section is defined as one class taught during one period. The more classes we offer, the more scheduling options there are for students, thereby reducing average class sizes in all classes at Los Cerros.  Mr. Briggs strategically engineers the schedule so that class size is reduced most in our academic subjects, including Core, Math, and Science.

 

Please make a tax-deductible donation online via Future Fund.  You can also donate via check payable to The Los Cerros Academic Boosters, Tax ID #68-0473831.  Please mail your check along with the enclosed form to Los Cerros, 968 Blemer Road, Danville 94526.
