National Merit Semifinalists
The National Merit Scholarship Program is an annual competition for recognition and scholarships that is open to all US high school students who meet published entry requirements. Semifinalists named in each year’s Merit Scholarship competition show exceptional academic ability and potential for success in rigorous college studies. Over 1.4 million students in more than 21,000 high schools entered the 2008 Merit Scholarship Program by taking the 2006 PSAT. Semifinalists are the highest-scoring entrants and represent less than 1% of the state’s high school seniors. Please help me congratulate the semifinalists from Decatur High’s class of 2008:
Jennifer Campbell
Juan Cardoza-Oquendo
John Morgan
Robert Nuttall
We wish them the best of luck as they compete to advance to Finalist, and ultimately, award recipients!

New Immunization Requirements
The Georgia Dept. of Human Resources has added new immunization requirements for childcare and school attendance effective July 1, 2007. These requirements included a second dose of varicella (chickenpox) vaccine or proof of disease for any child entering kindergarten, 6th grade or a Georgia school for the first time. Currently the varicella vaccine is in short supply resulting in long lines at immunization providers offices and delays in issuing the a completed Certificate of Immunization (form 3231). City Schools of Decatur will follow the recommendation issued today from the Office of the State Superintendent. Children who cannot receive the second dose of Varicella vaccine because of the limited supply will be allowed to enter school and receive the
second dose when vaccine supplies stabilize. Form 3231 with a future expiration date will be honored, with the understanding that a student may be unable to receive the second dose of Varicella vaccine prior to school starting.
