Dear Caregivers of Incoming 7th Graders,

The Iowa Department of Public Health requires all students entering 7th grade have both the Tdap (Tetanus, Diphtheria and Pertussis/whooping cough) booster and Meningococcal vaccination prior to starting 7th grade or a Certificate of Immunization Exemption Religious/Medical..

The Tdap requirement requires a booster dose of Tetanus, Diphtheria, and acellular Pertussis containing vaccine for students entering 7th grade. Pertussis (whooping cough) is a very contagious disease that causes violent coughing fits that make it hard to breathe.

Meningococcal disease is a life threatening illness that is caused by bacteria that infects the brain, blood, and spinal cord. It easily spreads in crowded settings. The vaccine will be required prior to both the 7th and 12th grades. The meningococcal vaccination will be accepted if given on or after student’s 10th birthday.

• All students entering 7th grade must have proof of having both the Meningococcal and the Tdap vaccines prior to the first day of school in August, unless the student has a Certificate of Immunization Exemption on file.

There will be NO GRACE PERIOD OR EXTENSION for the implementation of this requirement as per state law. Now is a great time for your student to receive these immunization requirements and beat the back-to-school clinic rush by making their appointment now.

Both a physical and concussion agreement are required if your student will be participating in any extracurricular activity. A completed physical form will need to be uploaded into BOUND. The required concussion agreement can be found and completed in BOUND. These state requirements must be completed and uploaded PRIOR to the first practice.

I look forward to having your student here at North Scott Junior High. If you have questions, please contact me at 563-285-3410 or jane.wilson@north-scott.k12.ia.us.

Jane Wilson, RN

North Scott Junior High Nurse

Free and Reduced Lunch Applications

To ensure the safety and efficiency of our school transportation system, students are required to ride only the bus they are assigned to. This policy helps us maintain accurate attendance and ensure that every student arrives home safely.

Exceptions can be made for consistent changes related to childcare needs on early release days. If your child requires a permanent change to their bus route due to a regular childcare arrangement, please contact Derek Hamilton, Transportation Supervisor at 563-285-9801 to discuss these accommodations. All requests must be arranged in advance.

Thank you for your understanding and cooperation in helping us keep all students safe.
