Student Vaccination Clinics

Dear North Reading Parents, Guardians, and Families,

The North Reading Health Department and the North Reading Public Schools  are pleased to announce that we are partnering with Pelmeds Pharmacy to offer the 2 dose Pfizer Covid-19 vaccination series to our students ages 12 and up.

It is important to clarify that this opportunity is completely optional for students and that our goal is to provide a convenient and timely option for those who are interested.

The Pelmeds team of vaccinators will be assisted by some of our school nurses and will come onsite, outside, after school at the L.D. Batchelder elementary school grounds to provide immunizations on:

•            June 7, 2021 from 3:00 pm to 7:00 pm – 1st shot clinic

•            June 8, 2021 from 3:00 pm to 7:00 pm -1st shot clinic

•            June 14, 2021 from 3:00 pm to 7:00 pm  - 1st shot clinic

•            June 15, 2021 from 3:00 pm to 7:00 pm -  1st shot clinic

 

Appointments can be reserved by utilizing this link: : https://calendly.com/info3-2/north-reading-school?month=2021-06

After registering you will receive a link with a user name and password. If you click on my vaccine in the email and log in you will see a screen with all of the info that you input. Click next and then you should be able to print the consent form. Please make sure to print and sign the consent form and have the student bring it to school on the day of the clinic. Parent or Guardian signatures are required for any students under the age of 18.  

All students will be vaccinated free of charge regardless of insurance coverage. If insured please enter insurance information in the online registration. Once registered online there is no need to bring an insurance card to the clinic. A follow up clinic for second doses will be on:

•            June 28, 2021 from 3:00 pm to 7:00 pm – 2nd shot clinic

•            June 29, 2021 from 3:00 pm to 7:00 pm – 2nd shot clinic

•            July 5, 2021 from 3:00 pm to 7:00 pm – 2nd shot clinic

•            June 6, 2021 from 3:00 pm to 7:00 pm – 2nd shot clinic

 

An additional registration link will be provided to register for the second dose at a later time. Students who have already received their first dose of the Pfizer series at another location are welcome to register for either date to receive their second shot as long as there has been at least 3 weeks between doses.

Thank you to Mr. Bracey, the Pelmeds team, and all of our nurses for their support of this opportunity for interested students.

Be well,

Dr. Daly

May 6, 2021 Updates

 Dear North Reading Public Schools Community,

I've enjoyed visiting classrooms in all five schools in recent weeks and it has been wonderful seeing so many of our students return to in-person learning. I especially enjoyed May the 4th (be with you) and seeing students of all ages (and staff!) with their Yoda ears and Star Wars t-shirts!

As we've communicated in the past there is a second opportunity for students to return in-person on May 10, 2021. Those students who selected to remain in remote have all been contacted and are confirming their choice to remain in remote through the end of the year or to return in person on Monday. If anyone has any questions about this process please feel free to contact me at any time.

The 2021-22 school year calendar has been updated to reflect the proper start and end times for half day Kindergarten. 

Please remember that May 28th is a half day early release for professional development and there is no school on May 31st for the Memorial Day holiday. I have shared the end of year schedule for students again below.

Please continue to follow all safety precautions with our students when outside of school, when carpooling, and at small gatherings with friends. This week has been a very good week thus far with no new reported positive cases in our schools. Thank you to everyone for your continued efforts to keep our students and schools safe.

Have a great day,

Patrick
