VERY IMPORTANT INFORMATION
FOR ENTERING 7TH GRADE!!
There are two requirements to be completed prior to entering 7th grade per the Ne-
braska state laws. Please note that if these two requirements are not met, the students will
NOT be able to participate in the schedule pickup process in early August until these require-
ments have been completed.
1. The Nebraska state law requires ALL 7th grade students to have a physical exam or
physical exam waiver signed by a guardian PRIOR TO beginning the 7th GRADE.
Students are REQUIRED to have this paperwork completed and turned into the health
office.
Parents/Guardians, please note that if your child is playing sports NEXT YEAR that the
sports physical must be completed AFTER the date of May 1, 2021. The NSAA athletic bylaws
require the physical to be completed after May 1, 2021. If a student has a physical that is dated
earlier than May 1, 2021, they will be asked to obtain a new physical in order to participate in
sports. If you have any questions concerning this please contact the nurse’s office.
2. IMMUNIZATIONS– 7th graders are required to have a TDAP booster. Please bring
the current immunization records with you to schedule pickup. If the student has not re-
ceived the TDAP booster, the student will not be able to get a schedule until the state require-
ments have been met.
WE MUST HAVE THE ABOVE ITEMS COMPLETED IN ORDER FOR THE STUDENT TO PAR-
TICIPATE IN THE SCHEDULE PICK UP PROCESS.
The Physical form is located on pages 6-7 of the newsletter, in addition to the Middle
School website under the Nurse’s Corner tab. Immunization requirements are also posted
under the Nurse’s Corner tab.
Please call the health office if you have any questions concerning immunization require-
ments or physical requirements for the next year.
