Attention Rising 7th Grade Parents

Tdap Vaccine for 7th Graders: South Carolina law requires that all students entering the seventh grade receive one dose of Tdap vaccine. Below, you will find a flyer in English and Spanish to share with parents of students who have not provided a record of immunization. Students entering the seventh grade, who have not received the Tdap vaccine by the beginning of next school year (August 2025), will not be allowed to attend school until they have received the vaccine and provided an updated SC Certificate of Immunization or submitted an exemption as permitted by law.

Change of Information

To change your address, phone numbers or emergency contacts:  
Use your Backpack account to update your contact information. You’ll need to scan a copy of a recent utility bill* or Change of Address Form. Please notify the school directly as you must provide two proofs of residency.

If your child will be a bus rider, you’ll also need to indicate that in Backpack or complete the Transportation Form, which is available on the district website.

*All address changes must include a current bill dated within past 30 days from either Duke Energy, Laurens Electric, Piedmont Natural Gas, Spectrum, or Greenville Water System. The bill must show the service address, not just the mailing address. If the bill is not in the parent’s name, please contact Guidance for additional information. Please bring paper copies to the Guidance Office or fax info to 355-6275. We cannot change your address without this documentation.

Questions? Please contact the Guidance Office at 355-6268. Thank you!
