• 5/21/21 - IMPORTANT REGARDING STUDENT ATHLETE VACCINATIONS

    Dear Parents,


    The SUSD Athletic Department is encouraging student athletes to get the COVID-19 vaccine.  The information below will assist you and your child in making an informed vaccination decision.  Click on the links in the document below for more information on the COVID-19 vaccine.  One of the major advantages of getting the vaccine is that fully vaccinated athletes do not need to quarantine from school and sports if exposed to the virus, unless they are experiencing symptoms. 

     

    Thank you for your consideration,

    SUSD Athletics

    1. COVID-19 vaccines are safe and effective.
    2. Everyone 12 years of age and older is now eligible to get a COVID-19 vaccination. 
    3. There are several places to find a COVID-19 vaccine.
