Parents are reminded that the Montana School Immunization Law requires that students entering the seventh grade in Montana schools have a TDAP (tetanus) and the required two MMR’s.

No student will be registered without verification of proper immunization. Parents are also reminded that there are policies in regard to medications, whether prescription or nonprescription.

It is mandatory that all medications must be delivered to the office by a parent/guardian and a medical form completed by the parent/guardian.

Students are not allowed to deliver any medication to the office, and medication will not be administered unless a medical form is completed by the parent.
