VACCINATION


Children who have not been vaccinated will not be admitted to school in September unless they present a certificate from a regular practicing phy- sician stating that they are not fit subjects for vaccination. Parents are re- quested to attend to this matter during the Summer vacation as certificates of vaccination or exemption must be presented at the opening of school to entitle children to admission.
