NYS DOH Immunization Inspection
Mr. Woods was notified on Friday
that OLQM will undergo an audit of ALL students’ immunization records before
December 15th - no exact date was set. This same audit happened
approximately
15 years ago. If students did not have immunizations
up to date a letter was sent home by the NYSDOH informing the parent that their child COULD NOT
RETURN TO SCHOOL until the records were updated.
Alba and Mr. Guzman will be calling
parents this week and it must be addressed immediately -
This is not a mañana moment!
This is beyond the
school's control!
