H1N1 Immunization

The Arkansas Department of Health has informed us this week that the H1N1 immunization will be NASAL Mist instead of an injection. This is due to a shortage of the vaccine. If you have already signed a consent and DO NOT wish for your child to receive the H1N1 mist, please contact the nurse at 501-851-3333 or email office@academicsplus.org and we will void the H1N1 consent. The seasonal flu vaccine will still be an injection.

APCS School Board Needs Volunteers

APCS School Board needs volunteers to help during the early voting on November 9th from 3:00pm to 6:00pm at the Falcon's Nest. They can contact Stephani Henson at stephani.henson@sbcglobal.net or Scott Grummer at scott@dlrcdc.org if they are interested. We will need to know by November 4th if you will be able to help.
