Caytlee Poole and Rocco Loe were recognized and presented a check by Mrs. Rucker from the Daughters of the American Revolution tonight at the Prescott school board meeting for being state winners in the DAR essay contest. Caytlee’s essay was also a regional winner being judged against approximately 900 other essays in Arkansas, Oklahoma, Texas and Louisiana. A committee was scheduled to meet in April to determine who advanced after winning regional but were unable to do so because of the pandemic. This is the first time in school history for a Prescott essay to advance to the regional level. Congratulations to both Rocco and Caytlee on these accomplishments! We are very proud of them both! #impactthepack

Attention Prescott parents: Letters were sent out if your child is due for an immunization prior to school resuming in the fall. ALL students starting kindergarten are required to have a current physical exam and up to date immunizations. ALL students turning 11 years of age between 9/1/2019 and 9/1/2020 are required to have a Tdap vaccine. ALL students entering 7th grade are required to have a MCV-4 vaccine. ALL students turning 16 years of age between 9/1/2019 and 9/1/2020 are required to have a MCV-4 booster. ALL students immunizations must be up to date regardless if they are virtual or on campus. These immunizations are required by the state for all students attending public school. If your child has an exemption for any of the required vaccines, you will need to bring a new exemption letter from the state each year by the first day of school. Currently the Nevada County Health Dept is closed for immunizations due to COVID-19, so you will need to make an appointment with your child's pediatrician for their vaccinations. Please bring or send the updated immunization records to the school as soon as possible. They can also be faxed to 870-887-3398. If you have any questions, please contact Candy Rogers crogers@prescottschool.net or Jade Cornelius jcornelius@prescottschool.net
