School Nurse
Welcome Back to School!
I hope everyone had a nourishing and restful Thanksgiving week. Please test for Covid before returning to school tomorrow. If your student is Covid+ or has another illness, please keep them home and inform the attendance office on the absence recorder (x7973).
Starting to think about holiday gifts? How about things that make being healthy fun!- Fun water bottles to stay hydrated through the school day
- Beanies to stay warm through cold weather
- Workout clothes and equipment to encourage physical activity
- Journals to encourage mindful time and thought
- Board games to encourage fun and connection
No time for breakfast?
Ask your student what kind of portable healthy food you can make available for them to grab on their way to school:- Green smoothie
- Fruit (fresh and dried)
- Nuts
- PB&J
- Healthy muffins
