Hello Trailblazer Families:

BE PROACTIVE:

• The East Running Club is preparing for another year of fun and racing.  This is a Fall, cross country team that is both developmental and competitive in nature.  There will be informational meetings in the Media Center at Bullitt East on June 18 and July 10.  Meetings will begin at 6pm (parents need only attend one meeting).  Contact Coach Kenny Hughes at kenneth.hughes@bullitt.kyschools.us with questions. 
•  Follow us on Facebook at East Running Club 2018
• PTA and SBDM Election is Thursday at 5:30p.  
• Just a reminder about the clothing expectations, shorts should be longer than a child's fingertips.  Also, please remember, shoes should have a back, we do not allow flip flops.  Finally, we ask that students refrain from wearing spaghetti straps.
• We have a HUGE amount of clothes in the lost and found.  If your child has a lost item, please have he/she check the lost and found.  Otherwise, items will be donated at the end of May. 
• KPREP for Grades 3 - 5 will be May 21, 23, 24, 25 and 29.  The four makeup days are May 30, 31,June 1, 4.  Please keep these dates clear of any routine doctor's appointments so our kids will be here, on time and ready to give their best effort to the KPREP assessment!

New Immunization Info for 18-19:
Important immunization changes are outlined in 902 KAR 2:060 for 2018-2019 school year.  Please note the following changes in order for your child to attend school:  

• Effective July 1, 2018:  ALL students in kindergarten through twelfth grade must show proof of having received two doses of Hepatitis A vaccine to attend school.  These 2 shots must be given 6 months apart.  Please DON’T DELAY in getting these started.  Students will need to have the first dose before January and the second dose by July 1st.  This is a NEW school requirement.  Therefore, if your child has already been vaccinated, the school will need the certifications showing proof in order to enroll your child for the 2018-2019 school year.   
• Students aged 16 years or older must show proof of having received two doses of Meningococcal vaccine to attend school.   If the first dose of meningitis vaccine was received at age sixteen (16) years or older, the second dose is not required for school entry.
