More than 300 students in grades 1-4 remain suspended today, after the health unit in Windsor determined their immunization records were not up to date. 

The Windsor-Essex County Health Unit suspended 659 students Thursday, as many parents and guardians scrambled to update their children's files. 

On Friday, about 346 students remained on a suspension that could last up to 20 days. 

The health unit notified the families of children with incomplete records in the spring, and again on Sept. 1. 

An earlier suspension took place in in February, when almost 700 Grade 11 and 12 students in Windsor and Essex County were suspended because of incomplete immunization records.
