Reminder: Information for incoming grade 7 students:

Ohio Law requires that all seventh graders must have received multiple immunizations. Before starting school, students in the 7th grade must have a Tdap (Tetanus, Diptheria, and Pertussis) and a Meningococcal vaccine. Written proof of receiving these vaccinations must be on file in the school office. Students who do not have evidence of proper immunizations will be excluded from school after 14 days, per Ohio Revised Code.
If your doctor says immunization might be harmful to your student, a waiver must be on file. If you object to immunization for good cause, for example religious convictions, a waiver must be on file.
If you need them to be faxed, our Fax number at GMS is 937-663-4674

Here is a great Summer Camp opportunity for students in grades K-12 offered through Clark State! Please see the attached flyer for more information on how to register for these camps!
