REMINDERS
Summer Move?
If you will be moving over the summer, please let the Douglas Office know as soon as possible. You will need to sign a record release form so that we can send your child(ren)'s records to their new school. Please remember the Douglas School office is closed part of the summer and therefore we may not be able to send them on short notice. Please email Sharen Crooks at scrooks@abschools.org.
New Updates from the Health Office
1. Please plan to pick up EpiPens, inhalers, and any other medications ON OR BEFORE THE LAST DAY OF SCHOOL (JUNE 15th), DURING SCHOOL HOURS. **Please contact the School Nurse before coming to pick up any meds, and also inform the nurse if you need to make alternate arrangements for pick-up, or if your child will be attending summer school here.**
2. Remember, all medications should preferably be delivered/picked up directly to/from the school nurse by a parent or other responsible adult. It can be unsafe to send medication to and from school in your child’s backpack, as it could end up in the wrong hands.
3. On the Acton Boxborough School Nurse Website you will find a link for “Forms” -- forms should be completed, signed by your licensed care provider, and returned to the School Nurse on or before the first day of school, August 30th, 2021. Children with life-threatening allergies, asthma, seizures, or diabetes must have a care plan completed and signed by their physician each year. Medication cannot be administered until the nurse has a signed, completed authorization form from the healthcare provider.
Summer Camp Scholarships
Are you looking for summer camp opportunities? We want to help create more summer fun!
The Doli Atamian Campership program provides scholarships to summer camp programs for children in Acton and Boxborough based on family income. The application process is simple, and each child may receive up to $300 towards a summer camp program or classes of the family's choice.

As of Wednesday, May 12th, the Pfizer COVID vaccine has been approved for use by young people, including ages 12 and above. The COVID vaccine has been shown to be safe and effective and we urge parents to get their children vaccinated. Getting vaccinated is the best way to protect yourself and your loved ones and is the only way we can end the pandemic. Vaccines are free. For short, informative videos about the COVID 19 vaccine in multiple languages, visit this website and scroll to the Animated Videos section.
Hundreds of vaccination sites are available across the state and many of these now accept walk-in appointments, including the mass vaccination sites and CVS and Walgreens pharmacies. As a reminder, the COVID vaccine is free for all, and no ID or insurance is needed to obtain the vaccine. More information on these sites, as well as safety information, and helpful Q&A are all available at https://www.mass.gov/covid-19-vaccine. We encourage you to reach out to your school nurse or your pediatrician with questions and concerns you might have.
