Happy Halloween! Parents, please use this weekend’s Halloween celebrations as an opportunity to have a dialogue with your students about having fun and staying safe. Adults modeling safe, responsible and healthy behavior is powerful!
 
One Shot in Each Arm! Protect your student against illness and missing school (and protect your community as well)! Make their appointments to get both the flu shot and their next Covid booster (now giving new bivalent version effective against variants). Many pediatrician’s offices and most pharmacies have them available.
 
Please see my website for more information on medications, health issues, forms, etc.  Does your child have an EPIPEN? Hopefully you have let me know. HERE is some interesting information about Benadryl vs. Epinephrine.
 
Weekly Health Tip: Ways to Help Your Teen Get More Sleep. Help your students create a good window (# of hours of sleep) by supporting a healthy schedule in which they have a balance of exercise, down time, nourishing food and happy connection.
