h4. Virginia School Entrance Health Form
This health form must be completed for all NEW students. St. Michael’s Episcopal School requires that ALL enrolled students be currently vaccinated as prescribed by the Commonwealth of Virginia without regard to religious exemption.
State Vaccine Requirements for Rising 7th Graders
HPV, Tdap (tetanus, diphtheria, and pertussis), and Meningococcal are required vaccines for children between 11 and 12 years of age in Virginia. This means children receive these vaccines going into the 7th grade. As a parent or guardian, you have the right to decide if your child receives the HPV vaccine. Please discuss this with your healthcare provider.
Later this summer, seventh grade families will need to upload updated immunizations to Magnus Health in PowerSchool.

Parenting Summer Reading Recommendations
Students are encouraged to complete their summer reading assignments, and, this year, Dr. Kim Hilton, St M’s Consulting Psychologist, has compiled a list of various reading selections for parents to consider in their own summer reading. We hope that you’ll find a book or podcast that offers you support in your parenting journey!
