Exceptions are only made for magnet programs or special conditions that are authorized or approved by the School Board. Transportation is available for all exceptional students except gifted. Starting times of schools are staggered by level to permit buses to make multiple runs and prevent students from waiting long periods in the mornings or afternoons for the bus. School buses are also used by the schools for field trips, music trips and sports events and may be used by community groups under certain conditions. Because it takes six months to complete the hepatitis-B vaccine series, we have begun informing parents of the new immunization requirements this year prior to the summer break, and encourage them to begin the series as soon as possible.
Immunizations help prevent debilitating disease and death.
We want to ensure that parents are provided with reliable, accurate information about this important new admittance requirement.
