THANK YOU FOR A GREAT SCHOOL YEAR
As we prepare for the last day of school, we would like to thank everyone for a great year. The hard work of our students, staff and families has made this a year to remember, when we reunited our school community for daily in-person instruction and the return and reinvention of programming to better meet the needs of our students. We sincerely appreciate your support of our school community throughout this past year and look forward to another great year ahead in September. Thank you again.
Sincerely,
Rob Messia, Principal
Algonquin Middle School

A MESSAGE FROM THE NURSE
Students entering grade 7 are required to have a grade level physical and must receive the meningococcal A vaccine. Please contact your child’s physician to schedule an appointment for a physical and vaccination if your child has not yet received it. The physical must be completed after 9/1/21. If your child requires a medication at school, a provider’s order is needed.
Fall sport sign up will begin in July. Each registered athlete will be required to have a physical that will be less than one year old on the first day of practice on file at the health office.
Physicals and immunization documentation may be faxed to the health office @ 518 674 8426 or emailed to the nurse at sheaa@apcsd.org.
