REMINDERS AND UPDATES
College Counseling Update: Meetings during Family Weekend
If you're joining us for Family Weekend, please encourage your student to sign up for a meeting with their college counselor! Ms. Hatch Blauvelt will meet with families of students whom she is counseling, and Ms. Virden will meet with families of students regarding both college and academics. We each have sign-up sheets outside our office doors.
Important Reminder from the Health Center
Flu season is around the corner! Protect yourself and your family this season with an annual flu vaccine for everyone in your family who is 6 months and older. While the timing of flu season is unpredictable, seasonal flu activity can begin as early as October and last as late as May. CDC recommends that people get vaccinated by the end of October, if possible. It takes about two weeks after vaccination for antibodies to develop in the body that protect against influenza virus infection. Please contact your daughter's primary care practitioner to schedule an appointment for her to receive the annual flu vaccine while she is home for October long weekend or November break.
The CDC's Guide for Parents provides detailed information on the flu and how to keep you and your family healthy during flu season.
For the first day of Horizons off-site programming, one group of Sophomores ventured to Hinsdale, where they performed trail maintenance for the Housatonic Valley Association and Berkshire Natural Resources Council.
