IMPORTANT IMMUNIZATION INFORMATION
FROM THE HEALTH OFFICE
Cristina Guevara, RN, BSN, NCSN
Parents please remember to have your child’s immunizations updated over the summer if needed. Start making appointments with your child’s primary care physician now.
Tdap is a new requirement for all incoming 7th and 8th graders. This vaccine is replacing the Tetanus booster that is currently given to adolescents. The Hepatitis B vaccine continues to be a requirement for all students. This is a series of 3 shots and will take 7 months to complete. Please start this series now in order to be in compliance by August. Check your child’s immunization record and make sure the school nurse has the most current copy, otherwise please bring your child’s immunization records to registration.

Good bye Hoover
Dear Hoover Community,
I would like to take this opportunity to announce my retirement from APS. I have been with the district for 33 years, the last 12 as Hoover's principal. It has been a privilege and an honor to serve as the steward of the principalship at Hoover. I cherish the support you have given me over the years and I know you will extend that same support to my successor. The process to choose my replacement has already begun. My decision was not an easy one, but I know it is the right one. Our school is in good shape with a great staff. Change can be a good thing. I look forward to watching Hoover continue to grow stronger over the coming years.
Thank you for allowing me to be part of your lives. It has been a great ride!
Good-bye and good luck to all of you..
Wayne
