Rising 12th graders,
We would like to inform you of the North Carolina Immunization Rules and Laws. A second dose of Meningococcal conjugate vaccine is required for students attending school in North Carolina who are entering the 12th grade. For complete details and explanations, please review the website https://immunize.nc.gov/schools/ncruleslaws.htm for NC general statutes 130A-157.
The meningococcal B vaccine does not count as part of the requirement. Please review your child’s immunization record to see if the second vaccine dose has been given. There will be a total of two (2) doses. If not, make an appointment with your primary care provider to have this done as soon as possible. You may also make an appointment with the Union County Health Department at 704-296-4800 for your child to obtain the required vaccine.
If your child has had the second meningococcal conjugate vaccine, please make sure you send a copy of their immunization record to the school nurse. Upon completion of the vaccines, please provide your school with a copy of your child’s updated immunization record. Students who remain non-compliant with this requirement after 30 days from the start of the school year are to be excluded from school.
If you have questions or concerns regarding this requirement, please consult with your health care provider. You may also contact your school nurse.
Announcements from the District
Credit by Demonstrated Mastery is a process that allows students to earn high school course credit by demonstrating command of course material/content without taking the actual course. Content for the CDM process is based on the North Carolina Standard Course of Study. The application window is May 1-22. Learn more about CDM and important dates.
Union County Public Schools will hold graduations in May and June. All traditional high school graduations will be livestreamed on the school’s YouTube page for public viewing.
In the event of severe weather, rain dates have been set to reschedule ceremonies. Principals will communicate directly to seniors and their families if the date of their graduation is changed.
Union County Public Schools uses PaySchools Central for school meal payments (replaced K-12 Payment Center). Parents will need their child’s Infinite Campus student ID number to register for PaySchools Central and complete a free and reduced meal application.
