Student Flu Vaccines

Student Flu Vaccines

There will be two student flu vaccination days scheduled for PES (3-5) students, depending on the type of insurance coverage the student has.

·         Students who have PEEHIP insurance will have flu vaccines available on November 4, 2015.  The forms for PEEHIP flu vaccines are not yet available, but will be sent out as soon as possible. 
·         
        Flu vaccines for all other PES(3-5) students will be available during the school day on October 23, 2015.  This day is for students who have any insurance other than PEEHIP or students who have no medical insurance. 
·         
        The flu vaccine form for October 23 (non PEEHIP insurance) is attached.  You may also pick up a form from the clinic.  Completed forms for the October 23 flu vaccine day should be returned to your school nurse no later than October 16.
·         
        Please read over the form carefully as the vaccine cannot be given if the form is not completely filled out with all required information and signatures. 
·         
        If your child has a chronic health condition and has been advised by your physician to avoid exposure to the flu mist or if you have other questions or concerns, please contact your school nurse by phone at 205-228-3314 or by email  at tresia.mize@trussvillecityschools.com.

One Key to Success No Matter Your Age!

The deck was certainly stacked against him. He grew up in dire poverty, raised by a single mom in Detroit, Michigan. Success wasn’t even on the radar.

I had the honor of interviewing Dr. Carson a few years ago. And he told me one thing turned it all around for him: reading. What follows is not an endorsement of his candidacy, but it is a chance to talk about something transformative that can affect anyone who follows Carson’s example. How did he do it?

Club Day

Club Day was a huge success on yesterday!! Thank you to our Counselor Mrs. Blake for organizing the day and ensuring that all students had the opportunity to experience clubs! Club Day typically takes place twice a month (depending on the schedule).

Teachers were engaged in professional development while students were away at clubs. The professional development focus yesterday was on student data.
