Dear Parents and Guardians,
This is a friendly reminder that students entering Preschool, Kindergarten, Sixth Grade, Ninth Grade, and Twelfth Grade are required to have their medical requirements up to date in order to remain enrolled in school.
The deadline to provide required immunization documentation is ONE MONTH AWAY - October 15, 2026. Students who do not have the required immunizations or documentation on file by this date may not be permitted to remain in school until the requirements are met.
If your child has already completed the required immunizations and submitted documentation to the school, no further action is needed. You can send via email to ahughes@stauntonschools.org and afeldmann@stauntonschools.org, or turn paper documents into the main offices.
If you have questions about your child's immunization requirements or need to submit an updated record, please contact the health office as soon as possible.
Thank you for your prompt attention and cooperation in helping us maintain a healthy and safe school environment for all students.
Sincerely,
Nurse Ali and Nurse Ashleigh
