Sun Safety: Be Sun Smart
Your child's health and well-being are very important to us and protection from the sun while outdoors is a safety concern. Many of our end-of-year events are held outside and students will be exposed to the sun's rays. Hats, light weight clothing that protects arms, and sunscreen applied in the morning before school and sent to school for reapplication during the day is recommended. We want to prevent painful sunburns and skin damage that can lead to skin cancers years from now. Sunscreen is NOT available at school; however, students may bring sunscreen from home for use while at school. Students who bring sunscreen will be responsible for applying sunscreen. Due to possible allergic reactions from ingredients, sunscreen cannot be shared with classmates. Please talk with your child about the importance of sun safety so they may have a sun smart summer.
