Hot Weather Warning:
Please remember to encourage students’ hydration. Our late summer days can be very hot and dry, and it’s not unusual for us to see students with symptoms of heat illness. If air quality declines and your student needs an inhaler, please make sure they carry that with them and use it properly, and submit thismedicaldocumentation (each school year).
Does your student need medication at school?
Do you need to communicate with me about your student’s health/medical issue?
Please use the QR code to access the appropriate medical form you may need.
Help your child manage stress:
- Provide breakfast. Even if they say they’re not hungry, ask them what they would be WILLING to eat and have that readily available to eat before school or to take with them.
- Make sure they have access to healthy food and snacks throughout the day.
- Make sure they stay hydrated – have them bring a water bottle that they can refill throughout the day. Those are also available in the cafeteria. Food can be hydrating too – especially fresh vegetables and fruit!
