Message from the Principal
|
|
Dear Families,
Today is Runathon! Thank you to all of our parent volunteers who gave up their time to help make the day a great success.
It's hard to believe, but there are only 18 days of school remaining for the 2017 - 2018 school year. With the end of the year so close and so many things going on, it's critical that all students are getting here on time each day. Please work to ensure that these last 18 days of school are well attended as we begin preparation for final exams, graduation, and much more.
As I am nearing the end of my first year, I want to take a moment to thank each and every member of the Cardinal Ritter community for being so welcoming. Joining this community has been a blessing to me and my family and I have greatly enjoyed getting to know each of you. I thoroughly look forward to next year and many years to come.
God bless,
Steven Pelych

Class of 2019 Hepatitis A & Meningitis Immunization Requirements
Attention Class of 2019! The State of Indiana has a new immunization requirement that states all students in the 12th grade MUST
have a booster Meningococcal vaccination (MCV4, Menactra, or Menveo) and a 2 dose series of Hepatitis A immunization (doses must be at least 6 months apart)
.
These vaccines
are required for high school entry
. This prevents Meningitis outbreaks in college dorms. If you had your first shot of MCV4 at age 16 or older, the booster shot is not required. Please note there is also a 2 dose series of Meningoccal B strain which is NOT required but recommended
.
The Cardinal Ritter clinic needs you to get this
done before next August OR provide documentation as having already completed this requirement
.
Thanks for your cooperation and let
Nurse Feltz
know if you have any questions. Click
