ATTENTION PARENTS/GUARDIANS OF CURRENT PRE-SCHOOL AND FIFTH GRADE STUDENTS
The State of Indiana requires that all incoming kindergarten students and incoming sixth grade students be current in their vaccinations before school starts again in August. Some of the current preschool students have their kindergarten vaccines but others do now. This is the same for current fifth grade students. A Tdap and Meningitis vaccine are required for all current fifth grade students who will be in sixth grade in August.
Valley Professionals staff will be available at school to complete these vaccinations for your child if you are interested. They will be at Montezuma on Monday, April 14, April 28, and May 12, all day. This would be a great opportunity for your child to get their needed vaccines without having to miss a day of school. We would prefer PK parents to be with your child for this, but most fifth graders do well on their own (but parents are welcome.)
If you would like for your student to be seen on one of these days please contact Nurse Marla at Riverton Parke at 765-569-2045, or by email at hasbrouckm@swparke.k12.in.us

Bottled water is $1.50 and soda is $2.50 along with other snacks. We are also asking that students use the skates at the Wigwam and not to bring their own. This is so we use the proper equipment at the Wigwam. Students who bring cellphones to school will leave them at school and will not have them on the field trip. Thank you.
