Families:
The Vernon County Health Department will be offering Influenza vaccine to all children and students free of charge in the La Farge School district on Thursday, October 22th, 2020.
The Centers for Disease Prevention and Control (CDC) recommends that all individuals regardless of age receive the Influenza vaccine this year. The vaccine contains four strains, one of which is the H1N1, so protection will be available for the most prominent strains expected to appear in 2020-2021 flu season.
A clinic has been planned for Thursday October 22nd, 2020. This year the Vernon County Health Department staff will utilize a mobile immunization clinic located in your schools parking lot. We will be on location from 7 am to 3 pm. In years past, nursing staff has assisted smaller children if needed, but due to COVID best practice directives, we will not be able to do this this year. If your child needs to be held, you will have to be present for your child to receive the vaccine.
More information and a consent form is at the link below. Forms were also sent home with elementary students. MS/HS students or parents can pick up paper copies of the form in the Office.
Signed consent forms must be returned to school no later than Monday, October 19.
If you have any further questions/concerns, please feel free to contact the LaFarge School Nurse, Emily Oium, RN, BSN or the Vernon County Health Department. We look forward to seeing your child on Thursday, October 22nd, 2020. It is very important that we protect your child from complications of Influenza.

School meals will now be provided to students at NO COST for the rest of the 2020-2021 school year!
We are excited to share that the USDA has extended waivers for our meal program through June 2021. Meals are available for any child, age 18 and younger. Students who are learning from home who would like to receive meal deliveries should email egges@lafarge.k12.wi.us or call 625-0135.

Good Morning, Wildcats!
As we continue to plan for our elementary students' potential virtual education, any families that foresee internet access being an issue should reach out to Mr. Slack at (608) 625-0125.
Reminder: Staff Inservice and no school for Elementary students Monday, Oct 12. Staff Inservice and no School for MS/HS students Friday, Oct 16.
Updated information released this afternoon from the Vernon County Health Department is included in the graphic below. No changes will be made to our Instructional Model for the week of October 12th. Middle School and High School students will continue to learn virtually, and Elementary students will continue to learn in the building.
Case counts in Vernon County have been increasing at alarming rates. Elementary families are advised to consider that a change in instructional model may be made for the week of October 19th, as case counts are continuing to rise at alarming rates. An update will be made on the afternoon of Thursday, October 15.
Our priority remains the health and safety of our staff and students, and we want nothing more than to have all of our students and staff working and learning together in our classrooms.
