News From The Nurse

Stay Hydrated 
Reminder: Due to the excess heat index and elevated temperatures, please send your child(ren) into school with a re-usable water bottle (Please Do Not send in Poland Spring/Deer Park or other brands of store bought plastic bottles).  There is a water station in the hallway for the children to refill their bottles.  It is important for the children to remain hydrated while at school during these last few weeks of school.

Sunscreen:  Now that the warm weather has arrived, the children will be going outside for recess and physical education classes.  If your child requires sunscreen application, please remember to apply prior to arrival to school.  The staff and school nurse are not responsible for sunscreen.

Tick Treatment:  The grassy area behind the school was sprayed for Ticks last Friday, May 12th.  There have been an increase of reported ticks.  Please also check your child for ticks at home, especially if they are playing near wooded areas.  

Additional information regarding Lyme disease and Tick prevention can be found at www.cdc.gov/lyme
