Sunny Days

We are enjoying the sunny days, but we must take some precautions.

Please make sure your child has a sun hat with their name on the inside.  LABEL, LABEL, LABEL!!

With the warmer weather here, the students need water to rehydrate.  Please make sure they have a refillable bottle in their backpack.

I discourage juice boxes for a couple of reasons:  they spill and leave behind a sticky mess (it's almost ant season), we have to throw out unfinished boxes, juice has lots of sugar and refillable containers are better for the environment than recyclable boxes or bottles.

Water will quench their thirst and is healthy for growing bodies.

If required, please put sunscreen on your child before they come to school.  If students bring sunscreen, a few problems could arise:
1.  Our hallway becomes a slip and slide.
2.  They like to share with friends.
3.  The bottle may leak in their backpack.
4.  They use too much (that happened today) and there's a big mess to clean and clothing to change.

So, to recap-put sunscreen on at home.  Do not send it to school.  Please let us know if you have any questions or concerns about this matter and we can discuss it.

Thank you for your cooperation.
