Why:
The health of 天博体育' students, teachers, and staff remains our top priority. Vaccinations are integral to preserve in-person learning for our students and educators. Per the CDC, the COVID-19 vaccine prevents severe illness and helps control the spread of COVID-19.
NOLA-PS is sensitive to parents' concerns and questions about their little ones getting the vaccine and wants to help allay any uneasiness they may be feeling. Vaccination is proven to be the best defense against the pandemic, and we encourage everyone in our school community to get the shot.
Please join us as we detail how we will provide access to the vaccine to our youngest students.
