MCV Vaccine – August 30th, 2024
Sep 3, 2024
Good evening. This is Paula Husar, principal of Palmerton Area Senior High School. If you are receiving this message, it is because your child is still lacking the needed vaccine confirmation to start the school year. If we do not have something on file, your child cannot start school. This is a Pennsylvania State mandate as well as a Palmerton Area School Board Policy (School Board Policy #203.1). This policy is posted on the school district website.
Here are your options.
#1. Submit a waiver request to the school nurse if you cannot get a vaccine or do not believe it is appropriate for you and your family.
#2. Produce proof of the vaccine to me or the school nurse, Mrs. Thomas.
As a measure of good faith, we will accept proof of an upcoming appointment for the vaccine. We are not required to do this. It is simply a measure of good faith on our part. The School Nurse will return on Tuesday, September 3.
My e-mail address is phusar@palmerton.org. The e-mail address for Mrs. Thomas is lthomas@palmerton.org.
Thank you in advance for your prompt attention to this matter.
