Attention 5th Grade
Parents: Pertussis
(Tdap) Requirements
New York State Public Health Law now requires all
students entering 6th grade to be immunized for
tetanus toxoids, diphtheria, and acellular pertussis
(Tdap). Students who are entering 6th grade in
September 2009 and are 11 years of age or older must
receive an immunization of Tdap before the first
day of school in order to start 6th grade. If
a student has received a Td, DT or DTap vaccination
within the last 2 years, the student's Tdap
vaccination should be deferred (with rare
exceptions) until a period of 2 years has elapsed.
Please consult your family physician to advise you
on this matter. |

If Your Child is Absent...
Parents should always notify the school by
9:00AM,
either by
phone or by e-mail, whenever their child will be
absent. If there is no call or e-mail from a
parent, the office staff must verify the student is
absent by calling the parent. (Note: A written
excuse with a parent signature is still required
when the child returns to school.)
 Call the office at 399-9141
ext. 3500. This number is always available.

3500 and indicate if the work is to be sent home
with another child, or if you plan to pick it up
yourself by 3:30PM. The teachers will do their

Safety measure:
Elementary pupils must attend sports events with an
adult Burnt Hills-Ballston
Lake parents are advised that 8th grade and younger
pupils may not attend evening varsity
interscholastic sports events without an
adult. This proactive policy change was made
due to a growing number of youngsters being left
unsupervised at games and more incidents of
fighting, belligerence and other inappropriate
behavior.
