All 7th graders must show proof of immunizations before school starts. Mandatory immunizations for 7th graders are the Tdap and the MCV4 vaccines. Students will not be allowed to be in school until these are completed but will continue to be counted absent. It is very important to get these completed. Marion County Schools have worked with the Marion County Health Department and MVA Clinic to make sure families can access these vaccines. Families may go to the health department any day between Monday and Friday from 9 to 3 to receive these. The MVA clinic is also accepting walk-ins for these vaccinations as well. They ask that you call and let them know you are coming but appointments are not necessary. Please be sure to have these taken care of before August 24th!
Our new student orientation will be on Monday, August 23rd starting at 10 am. This is only for students who are enrolled for the first time as a student at East Fairmont Middle. Due to current guidance from the Marion County Health Department, we are limiting the number of people that may attend. We are asking that each new student only bring one parent with a maximum of two. No siblings may attend this event. While we know this may be difficult for some families, we continue to strive to make the safety of our Hornet Family a priority. The health department also recommends masks be worn indoors in larger group settings. We are notifying families now so that they can make appropriate arrangements.

“Coming together is a beginning; keeping together is progress; working together is success.” As we think back on the past 18 months of the pandemic, one of the most pronounced reflections is we cannot increase student achievement alone. See https://5il.co/wvxl.
