GUIDANCE

HAZLETON JUNIOR COUNCIL ADVISORY

Students in grades 10-12 are invited to apply for the City of Hazleton Junior

Council Advisory. This is a great opportunity to learn about local government,

attend City Council meetings, and develop leadership skills while representing the

student voice in the community. Applications are posted on your Teams page,

and the deadline to apply is September 18.

NURSE’S OFFICE

The Pennsylvania Department of Health mandates a physical examination be completed by a care provider/physician on all students entering 11th grade. The Pa Dept of Health also mandates all students receive a Meningococcal (MCV) vaccination on or after the student’s 16th birthday to enter 12th grade. Please keep this in mind and discuss it with your care provider/physician at the time of 11th grade physical exam. The state of Pennsylvania requires that all students entering 12th grade must have a 2nd dose of Meningococcal Conjugate (MCV). If the first dose was given at 16 years of age or older, then only one dose is required, and that shall count as the 12th grade dose. Written proof of this immunization from your physician must be returned to the school nurse prior to the first day of 12th grade. Failure to provide the necessary documentation will put your child at risk for exclusion from school.
