Hall Happenings

It’s hard to believe May is already here — and with it, the final stretch of the school year! I want to take a moment to say how proud I am of our students. They showed up and gave their best during STAAR testing, and their hard work did not go unnoticed. I’m equally proud of our teachers, who have supported, encouraged, and challenged our students all year long. It’s been a team effort, and I’m so thankful for the part you’ve played in that, too.

This month, we’re excited to kick off Operation Thank a Teacher! Our teachers continue to go above and beyond, and we’d love to show them just how appreciated they are. If you’d like to help us celebrate them — whether that’s through a small treat, a kind note, or a fun idea — please reach out to the front office. We’d love to have you join in.

We’ve also got our End-of-Year Awards Ceremonies coming up on Friday, May 16 in the A Gym:

6th Grade: 8:45 – 10:00 AM

7th Grade: 10:30 – 11:45 AM

8th Grade: 2:15 – 3:30 PM

We can’t wait to recognize our students for all they’ve accomplished.

And yes — Field Day is coming soon! Be on the lookout for more info in the next few days.

Thanks again for all your support this year.

Go Roos!

The state of Texas has set requirements for students entering the 7th grade. Immunization requirements are mandatory for school attendance in public schools. They are outlined in both the Immunization Requirements of the Texas Department of State Health Services and the Texas Administrative Code. Students will not be allowed schedules for middle school classes in August of 2025 until vaccines are current, received and verification given to the school.

The requirements for 7th graders are as follows:

• Meningococcal Vaccine – one dose
• Tdap – one dose within the last five years

If your child is currently up to date on immunizations, please send us the most recent copy of their immunization records. This may be emailed, faxed or turned into the campus nurse.

Email: kward@weatherfordisd.com kmitchell@weatherfordisd.com

Fax: 817-598-2854 attention to nurse clinic

If your child has an immunization waiver, please check with your campus nurse to make sure it is up to date. In the state of Texas, a waiver expires every two years and it can take up to two weeks to receive a new waiver. If the waiver is not up to date, notarized and the original copy turned into the nurse your child will not be allowed to enroll.

The Parker County Hospital District is offering the required vaccines.

Please call (817) 458-3254 to receive information.

Sincerely,

Kelsey Ward, RN and Kirstin Mitchell, LVN
