REMINDER Bee Wise and Immunize! One of the best ways one can do this is being fully immunized. The state requires students enrolled in school to be up to date on their childhood immunizations. Any new enrollee, kindergartener or 7th grader, not up to date will have their classes closed upon return from winter break on January 6th if required documentation is not provided. Please see attached flyer for information about our upcoming immunization clinic. If your child is not up to date please make an appointment with their doctor, the heath department, or make an appointment at our upcoming clinic to avoid class closures.

Flint Community Schools wishes you peace, joy, and all the best this wonderful holiday offers. May this season bring to your home and family happiness and joy filled with endless possibilities.
