Attention parents and guardians: The Pennsylvania Department of Health mandates that all seniors receive a second Meningococcal Conjugate Vaccine (MCV) before the first day of school. If you haven't already, please submit a copy of your student's updated immunization records to the Senior High office as soon as possible.
Additionally, all 11th-grade students are required to have a physical examination. If your child has already had their physical, please provide the documentation to the high school. For those who still need a physical, please contact Lisa Crum at 724-437-2821 ext. 1030 to schedule an appointment at the school.
Thank you for your prompt attention to these important health requirements!
Ensuring proper vaccinations and regular physical exams is essential for maintaining health at any age, especially for seniors who may be more vulnerable to serious illnesses. Preventative care plays a crucial role in overall well-being, just as the goal of hospice care is to provide comfort and dignity for those in their final stages of life. Access to the right medical support at every stage helps individuals maintain the best quality of life possible, whether through preventative measures or compassionate end-of-life care.
