A Note From Our TCS School Nurses:
Dear Parents and Guardians,
We are entering that tricky time of year where the weather can vary significantly day to day.
We can have snow, mud, puddles and a dry area on the playground all at one time and children
need to be prepared to play in all of it.
Please work with your child to make sure that they bring all necessary clothing to school daily
until all snow is gone, the weather is consistently warm and the ground is fully dry. The health office has been able to help out occasionally when children/families forget an item
but, we cannot handle a large volume of children needing clothing to wear outside or changes of
clothing when they get wet.
Going forward, on warm days, clothing will not be loaned. This is being done to both help/remind children to be more responsible in bringing what they need to school and because there is not a safety concern regarding freezing skin.
As always, if your child needs any clothing necessary for school activities and you can not
provide them, please contact your child’s school nurse.
Please make sure your child’s name or initials is/are on all items.
It can be difficult to get children to participate in organizing themselves. Attached is an article
that addresses this for parents. Please take the time to read it. Helping your child to take
responsibility for themselves and be successful can boost self esteem.
Who Packs Your School Bag
Please use the attached checklist if helpful to encourage your child to ensure everything they
need is in their backpack so they have a successful day at school. Getting the backpack ready
the evening before may take stress out of the morning.
Thank You!
