From good beginnings come good endings.
The Principal Notes
Schedules in hand, Blanchard citizens proceeded successfully through the school day. Teachers continued with classroom introductions and "getting-to-know-you" activities. I even observed some homework being assigned. Those agenda books are being put to good use!
We will break for Labor Day on Friday, September 3 and resume classes on Tuesday, September 7. Enjoy the weekend with your families.

News from the Blanchard Clinic
To Seventh Grade Parents: Thank you to all parents who have sent in documentation for your child's Tdap (Tetanus, diptheria, pertussis) or Td (Tetanus diptheria) booster immunization. State law requires that all seventh grade students receive this vaccination and that we have proper documention on file in the nurse's clinic before the start of school. We are still missing a significant number of physicals and immunization records for our incoming 7th grades. In the very near future, we are required to send a report to the state and your child will be excluded from school if we do not have verification that he or she has received the vaccine. Please send in your child's physical and immunization as soon as possible so we can get all of our files updated. He or she may
have received this vaccine last year, so please check last year's physical. Thank you so much for your cooperation.
Laurie Pabreza and Cheryl Carpenter, Blanchard School Nurses
