We will be offering a Student Flu clinic on Wed. October 5th for student in middle and high school. Remedium Pharmacy will be on site at CHS, McCarthy and Parker to administer the flu shot during the school day. This year's flu season is predicted to be more significant than in past years. A decrease in the flu cases in the past two years has been attributed to people staying home more, wearing masks and good hand hygiene. Protect your child and our school community by getting the Flu shot! In order to ensure an appointment, please sign up by Monday October 2nd! Students must be preregistered to receive the flu shot. Thank you for keeping our school community safe!
