IMMUNIZATIONS:

It is that time of year again that proof of immunizations are due. If you had a signed exemption last year those exemptions expired in June of 2020 and you will need to renew this fall. If your student does not have their  immunizations updated you have been notified by the district several times and by our health assistant here at Newton. 

The exclusion from school date this year for students without updated immunizations is November 6th. If you have questions please contact our health assistant Jessica Schultz.

Students enjoy your long weekend.

Take care!
