Immunizations
Dear Eagle Families,
This year has started off great!! Thank you for all you do and staying involved with your student/s here at Thompson Valley. With that said, if your student/s are not up to date on immunizations, or if you choose to have them exempt, please do so sooner rather than later. For exemption, this must be done EVERY school year and an educational module has to be watched, signed, dated, and returned to the health office. The link is below for you. If an immunization is done, you may send a copy or email to myself (cristina.frick@tsd.org) or Jaime Quintana (jaime.quintana@tsd.org) so we can enter it/them into IC. Please let me know if you have any questions at all!! Thanks again.
