It all starts with a positive attitude and requires a well rested body and mind, and regular nourishment. it is very important for students to eat and hydrate early in the morning to learn well, have more energy, feel better, look better and be healthier.

With the coming of spring and the warmer weather we are experiencing the return of spring allergy season.Please ensure your students success in school by providing them with the necessary helps in order to control their allergy symptoms. If your student needs medication for allergy relief during the course of the school day, medication can be brought from home, accompanied by the medication authorization form. Regulation 757-4, attachment 1. I will keep all meds in the clinic for student use. I n some cases students are seriously affected by allergies and may need to obtain an early dismissal. All early dismissal due to illness originate from the nurses office. Your student will call and arrangements will be made for their safe transition from school. Again, feel free to call me with your questions/concerns.
