East Prairie is planning to partner with the Illinois Emergency Management Agency (IEMA) and Illinois Department of Public Health (IDPH) to offer a COVID-19 vaccination clinic for children (if a vaccine is FDA-approved for 5-11 year olds). Students will only be vaccinated with the permission of a parent/guardian. We are still waiting to learn if a parent/guardian will be required to be present. Our tentative date for the first dose is Wednesday, November 10th, with the second dose slated for Wednesday, December 1st. We will share additional information and details as they become available.
A digital space to connect our students, families, and community members with the exciting and transformative happenings of East Prairie School!
