Immunization Requirements for Students Entering Grade 7
Per the Ohio Department of Health, all students entering grade 7 must show proof of vaccination against tetanus, diphtheria, and pertussis (Tdap vaccine) and meningococcal disease (MCV4 vaccine). You may take the following letter with you to your doctor to use as documentation of these vaccinations, or you may submit an immunization report with the dates of both vaccinations. Please return this documentation as soon as possible to your child’s school nurse. If this is not provided during the grade 6 school year, you will need to send this information to the junior high that your child will attend prior to the beginning of the next school year. The middle school nurses will forward all immunization documentation received to the junior high nurses at the end of this year. Your student will not be able to start school until documentation of the required vaccines or a signed exemption form are on file.

Summer Break: Partnering for Student Safety Online
Staying Connected, Staying Safe As summer approaches and students enjoy their well-deserved break, we want to partner with you in ensuring their continued online safety. District-issued devices have monitoring software in place to help safeguard students from harmful content. While this monitoring software remains active throughout the summer, school staff will not be available to check student activity during this time. Here's How We Can Work Together: Increased Parental Supervision: Just like with any personally-owned device, we encourage you to closely monitor your child's activity on their school device throughout the summer. Engage in open conversations about responsible online behavior and safe browsing habits. Content Filtering Remains Active: School-issued devices have filters in place to block inappropriate content, helping to create a safer online environment for students. These filters play a vital role, but it's important to remember that no filtering system is foolproof. Additional Resources: We have compiled a list of helpful resources to empower you in supporting your child's digital wellbeing: PLSD Tech Town Halls: Dive into our insightful technology town hall meetings on the PLSD Communications YouTube Channel YouTube: plsdcommunications. Gain valuable tips and strategies for promoting safe online habits for your child. Common Sense Media: Explore the extensive resources on Common Sense Media (https://www.commonsensemedia.org/). This website offers a wealth of age-appropriate content guides and practical advice tailored to your child's specific grade level.
