F.S. Ervin Elementary

The WCPSS Family is deeply saddened by the tragic loss of one of our beloved senior scholars. Let’s keep all family members, students, faculty, and staff in our thoughts during this challenging time.

Dear Parents & Guardians All students in the state of Alabama are required by law to have an Alabama Certificate of Immunization (IMM-50, Blue Slip) that is not expired. While conducting a survey, it has been discovered that many of our students are lacking a valid blue slip. If this could possibly be a child or children of yours, please contact your child’s healthcare provider and take care of this matter as soon as possible. Return the updated blue slip to the school nurse where your child is in attendance within a two-week timeframe of seeing this notice. Sincerely, Rachel Hammond-Dickerson, RN Lead Nurse for Wilcox County Public School System
