Koch Elementary staff were busy learning about a new reading program today. We will be ready to welcome you all to our classrooms tomorrow for Open House from 4:00 pm - 6:00 pm!
Any incoming 6th grader, that is at least 11 years old, can come in and get their required TDap and Meningitis vaccinations, while they are at school registration on August 7 (8am-6pm) or August 8 (8am-1pm) in the nurse's office at the high school building. There are other recommended vaccines for this age, but they will only be offering the required ones. They will bill insurance or Medicaid-but will need a copy of their card that day, and if no insurance-they will be billed for the injections only. Children must be accompanied with their parent, to obtain their vaccinations.
