ATTENTION FIFTH GRADE PARENTS: Students entering 6th grade are required to receive immunizations after turning 11. These vaccines include: Tdap and Meningococcal. Please make an appointment with your health care provider after your child’s 11th birthday. Official signed/ stamped shot records can be faxed, emailed, or sent in an envelope to school. Unofficial records such as My Chart, personal records etc. are not acceptable records by the Department of Health and Hospital guidelines. Our fax number is 225-275-0376. Nurse Rochelle's email address is rochelle@stmbr.org. Updated immunization records for entering 6th graders are due by JULY 15, 2026.
If your child will not be 11-years-old before starting 6th grade, please notify Nurse Rochelle. A grace period is allowed to get the vaccines after the 11th birthday. If you are not participating in immunizations, please submit a written statement from a physician stating the procedure is contraindicated for medical reasons, or provide a written dissent from a parent or guardian. Please call 225-272-3072 or email Nurse Rochelle at rochelle@stmbr.org with questions about immunizations.
