Health Center Advice for Parents of Seniors/Seniors:

We are sad to see you go!  But, before you do, please let the Health Center know if they can help you prepare for your college health requirements. 

• College Immunization Record – Required by most institutions.  Please email requests for copies by August 20, to infirmary@baylorschool.org.
• Updated immunizations – Be sure that you are up to date for Meningitis and Hepatitis. Please stop by if you need more information.
• TB Skin Tests – Some majors (mostly health sciences) require this test to be completed. Baylor's Health Center has a limited supply in the Health Center to assist with this need.

Used Uniforms Needed!
While you are doing your spring cleaning, please donate uniforms to the Red Raider Resale.  Just drop clean items off at the Welcome Center with Ms. Hattie or the guard on duty.  Skorts and men's/boy's chapel dress shirts are especially needed.  The Red Raider Resale volunteers will be busy selling to new families during the summer and appreciate your donated items for their inventory.
