Dear Parent or Guardian:
The state of Indiana is requiring two new vaccinations of all students in 6th thru 12th grade. Each student must receive 1 Tdap (tetanus, diphtheria, and pertusis) and 1 MCV4 (meningococcal) immunization beginning fall 2010. You, as a parent, must have your child completed all of the required missing immunizations prior to the 2010 registration.
These immunizations are being offered at the Clinton County Board of Health at 659-6385 or the Clinton County Immunization Clinic at 656-3350. Both clinics require appointments. It is your responsibility to get the information back to the school nurse.
Your child will be required by law to have these two new vaccines before they can attend school next school year.
For questions please contact Mrs. Blubaugh at 659-3321
Thank you,
Donna Blubaugh RN
Frankfort Middle School Nurse

Teaching good values can be especially hard during the middle school years, when some children test parents by rebelling. To emphasize your values:
• Be a role model. Put the things that are most important to you first, such as family time and staying healthy.
• Notice good behavior. When your child makes responsible decisions, compliment him.
• Discuss poor behavior. Expect your child to live by your family’s values. When he doesn’t, hold him accountable.
• Give examples. Discuss times when others have shown integrity. “Joey saw a woman drop some money, and he returned it to her.”

Your middle schooler cares very much what you think and wants to please you—even if she doesn’t always act like it. But in order to behave properly, she needs to know what you expect. Here’s what you should do:
• Tell her exactly what you expect. “You need to be inside by eight o’clock on school nights. No exceptions.”
• Help her understand your rules, but don’t justify them. “You can’t play video games all night because it cuts into homework and family time.”
• Establish reasonable consequences. Be very clear about what will happen if your child breaks a rule.
• Don’t nag. Trust that she’ll obey the rules instead of reminding her often. If she doesn’t, be sure to enforce the reasonable consequences.
