The Simcoe Muskoka District Health Unit says suspensions for students in grades 11 and 12 whose vaccinations aren’t up to date will be effective September 23rd.
The Health Unit says it sent letters home in May for students born in 2008 and ’09 whose immunization records are not up to date. Suspension orders will be mailed out later this month to those who still have incomplete records.
Students born in 2016 and 2017 (entering Grades 2 and 3) with missing immunizations were sent home with reminder letters from school at the end of the last school year. Those students’ records will continue to be reviewed this coming school year, with suspensions to be enforced in February.
