Outdoor Safety Reminders
With the return of the nicer, spring weather, we will be spending much more time outdoors, including hikes in the woods.
Sunscreen/Insect Repellent
Please apply sunblock and insect repellent each morning before the beginning of the school day. If your child is in kindergarten or older, please be sure to complete the Magnus requirement for "Self Administration of Sunscreen and Insect Repellent." You should send in a bottle of each labeled with your child's name to be applied mid-day.
Tick Checks
Please check your child for ticks each day after school. Ticks can be found throughout the region, including deer ticks.
Your risk for Lyme disease is very low if a tick has been attached for fewer than 36 hours. Check for ticks daily and remove them as soon as possible.
If you have any questions, please contact your primary care physician.
