Dear Parents/Guardians,

Our school will be hosting a Flu Clinic on October 3, 2025, from 9:00 am to 11:30 am. The best way to protect your child and family from the flu is to get the flu vaccine each year.

The flu vaccine is safe, effective, and helps:

Reduce school absences

Prevent spreading illness to others

Lower the risk of hospitalization and serious complications

Consent forms will be sent home or picked up from our front office and must be returned for your child to receive the vaccine at school.

If you have any questions, please contact: Mary Robbins, RN @ 501.402.4377

Thank you for helping us keep our school community healthy this flu season!

Sincerely,
Mary Robbins, RN
School Nurse
