Welcome to the #bestlittleschoolever!

The Visiting Nurse Association of Greater St. Louis will be coming to Strain-Japan R-XVI School on Friday, October 17th from 9:00 - 10:00 a.m. to administer flu vaccinations to our staff, students, parents and family members. If you would like to have a flu shot, or would like your student to receive one, please contact me at mrspinnell@strainjapan.com. I will then send you a consent form to be completed and signed prior to the vaccine. Please remember to bring your insurance card to the appointment.
Please keep our students in school by keeping them happy, healthy and vaccinated.
