Notes from the Nurse
Parents of Current 6th graders
During your child's well visit this year, they should receive both the Tdap and Meningococcal vaccine. These are two vaccines required by that state, prior to starting 7th grade. Please email a copy of their updated vaccine record to mtipsword@florenceisd.net after they have received their shots. If you email them after they get the shots, it's one less thing to have to remember to do before the start of next school year!
Please reach out to the School Nurse, Nurse Tipsword at mtipsword@florenceisd.net, if you have any questions. Thank you!
