Frequently Asked Questions MS/HS
Newly graduated students will receive a copy of their immunization with their diploma in the mail. Please always keep a copy for your records as your future employers and educational programs will require these many times throughout your life.
School Health records are retained until the student turns age 27. If you are older than 27 years of age, then the school no longer has a record of immunizations. Please contact your doctor’s office. Often times, records can be found in the New York States Immunization Information System (NYSIIS) that your pediatrician's office has access to.
If you were born after 1995, then please contact our High School secretary at 716-992-3600 and provide your date of birth and a return phone number to request these documents from our records retention.
