Notes
from the Nurse
Requiring
Immunization for School
Attendance:
States
have the right to enact and enforce individual
compulsory immunization statutes. However, states
do vary in their requirements. Students who fail
to meet the designated state immunization
requirements can be excluded from school until the
necessary immunizations are obtained. Enforcing
necessary immunizations dates back to the 1800's
when Massachusetts required citizens to be
immunized against smallpox. Then in an effort to
improve childhood immunizations, laws were enacted
requiring certain immunizations as a prerequisite
for school entry.
The recommended (not all
are required for school entry in Illinois)
schedule of immunizations comes out annually in
January. Click here to view the recommended
vaccinations for children ages 11-19. Noteworthy
is the updated information for Varicella,
Hepatitis A and HPV vaccines.

News
from the Library
February
Time Out for Reading
This
month's Time Out for Reading selection is The
Graveyard Book by Neil Gaiman. This 2009
Newberry Medal winner will be discussed on Wed.
Feb. 24thth, not Thurs. Feb 25th. Make sure to get
a copy and get ready for a magical discussion. All
students, teachers and parents are
welcome.
"Nobody Owens, known to his
friends as Bod, is a normal boy. He would be
completely normal if he didn't live in a sprawling
graveyard, being raised and educated by ghosts,
with a solitary guardian who belongs to neither
the world of the living nor of the dead. There are
dangers and adventures in the graveyard for a boy.
But if Bod leaves the graveyard, then he will come
under attack from the man Jack-who has already
killed Bod's family . . . Beloved master
storyteller Neil Gaiman returns with a luminous
new novel for the audience that embraced his New
York Times bestselling modern classic Coraline.
Magical, terrifying, and filled with breathtaking
adventures, The Graveyard Book is sure to enthrall
readers of all ages." (HarperCollins
Publishers)
