First District Health Unit will once again be providing flu shots at the Turtle Lake-Mercer School. Flu immunizations will play a major role in keeping our kids and communities healthy this fall and winter.
Flu shots will be given at our school on Wednesday, October 19, 2022, beginning at 8:00 am.
This year registering for a flu shot is even easier! There are now two options:
1. ONLINE: Parents can register their students online at www.fdhu.org. Once registered, a consent will be emailed to the parent to fill in and sign online. You will not need to complete or turn in a paper consent if completing online. Teachers and staff members may also register through the website. It will be helpful if all STAFF and STUDENTS register as soon as possible so we can prepare. Everyone for our school will sign up for the same date and same time – Wednesday, October 19th.
2. PAPER: Paper consents will be handed out to students this week. Paper consents can be used by parents who do not wish to sign up online. If signing up using the paper consent, please complete and return to the school office as soon as possible. (Remember, if signing up online, a consent will be emailed to be completed online and a paper consent will not need to be turned in to the school secretary.)
Consents will be accepted up to the day of the clinic. However, we encourage staff and parents to have either online or paper consents completed and to the school by Friday, September 23rd.
If you have any questions, please contact Pam from First District Health at 701-462-3330.

Questions to ask your student. 1. Why do we have rules? 2. Who enforces our laws?

Dear Turtle Lake - Mercer school families,
This afternoon one of our extra-curricular buses was involved in a multi-vehicle accident. Our bus driver was able to apply defensive measures to ensure the safety and well-being of our students. None of our students nor driver received any serious injuries, but some were transported for medical care. Please keep all involved in your thoughts and prayers.
Sincerely,
Mrs. Schlafmann
