Message from Superintendent Mike Johnson
One of the most important reasons to celebrate is having students in our schools, learning every day. We know that nearly all children learn better when taught in-person and that children and families rely on schools to provide a caring and safe environment. As the weather turns colder and people spend more time indoors, please continue doing your part to protect our staff and students' health. If your child is experiencing symptoms or has been exposed to someone who has tested positive for COVID-19, keep them home and contact your student's school. This care and concern for one another helps teach our students important lessons about responsibility and community. As always, thank you for your support of education and Creswell's children!
Creswell Season of Giving
COVID-19 Vaccines for Children 5-11
COVID vaccines are free, available at no cost, and an important tool to keep our children learning in-person all year long. Vaccinated students do not quarantine or get excluded from school when they have been exposed to COVID-19 unless they are showing symptoms.
Lane County Public Health (LCPH) has been working with local pediatric and family care practices, pharmacies, community-based organizations, and schools to develop a comprehensive strategy to meet the demand for COVID-19 vaccinations for children ages 5-11 following federal and state approval of the Pfizer-BioNTech pediatric vaccine.
Effective November 9th, all LCPH clinics will be by appointment only and LCPH's scheduling tool will be live by the morning of Friday, November 5, 2021. Parents and guardians can schedule appointments at: Get Vaccinated - Lane County or by calling (541) 682-1380.
To see a list of upcoming LCPH clinic dates/times, click on the "COVID-19 Vaccination Clinics for Kids 5-11" tab located at the bottom of LCPH's COVID-19 Vaccines for Children and Teens web page.
