Parents - This message is to hopefully clear up any confusion in regard to the student COVID vaccine clinic. We initially put out a survey to gage the interest of parents wanting their children aged 16 or older to get vaccinated. Based on that survey, there was enough interest to make a vaccine clinic worthwhile. We hope to have a vaccine clinic for students aged 16 or older next week. Completing the original survey does not mean your child will be on the list for a vaccine. We posted a new COVID vaccine signup yesterday. To get your child on the vaccine list, you must sign up by 3:00pm tomorrow April 8th. If you do not have access to a computer, you can call the school and someone can assist you in signing up. The signup link (https://forms.office.com/r/Ur4wJQWsPJ) can be found on both the Pleasants County Schools and St. Marys High School web pages under the news section. It can also be found on our social media pages.
