Excuse from P.E.
A note from a parent is required if a student needs to be excused from physical education. In accordance with School District policy these requests will be honored for one week. Requests that a child be excused from physical education for more than one week must be from a physician.

Immunizations
Missouri State Law mandates that children must be completely immunized and you must provide the school with the immunization record by the first day of school attendance. Any child who is not fully immunized or properly exempted will not be allowed to enter school.

Missouri School Immunization Law requires the following immunizations for all school children unless naturally immunized, or exempt for religious beliefs. For further information or clarification, please contact the school nurse
