“The Tennessee Department of Health requires all children entering 7th grade to have a
T-dap booster vaccine, Tetanus-Diphtheria and Pertussis. Children entering the 7th grade must show proof of this immunization to be admitted to school in August. If you have not already done so, please make an appointment with your health care provider or local health department for your child’s vaccine. All immunizations must be on the official TN Dept. of Health Certificate. Please turn your documentation into your school.
Children with medical exemptions must provide documentation from their medical provider. Religious exemptions require a signed statement by the parent/guardian that vaccination(s) conflict with their religious tenets or practices.
Thank you.”

Kindergarten Readiness
Progress towards readiness begins at birth and is influenced by families and friends, early care and educators provides, and the community.
A ready child is prepared physically, emotionally, socially, and intellectually. This means that each child enters school ready to participate in and benefit from early learning experiences that best promote the child's success so that they are eager and excited to learn.
If you have any questions, please contact your child's school or Hope Malone at hope.malone@hck12.net or 423-272-7629 ext. 2006
