Courtesy Notices mailed to families in August

• Proactive courtesy notices were mailed in August to students with missing vaccine information. The goal of these letters is to give families time to update their child's vaccine record before future correspondence is sent by TBDHU later in the school year.
• Students can attend school and our staff are available to answer any questions.
• The letter provides instructions on how to send the missing vaccine information to TBDHU.
