Attention 5th Grade Parents
It's hard to believe but we are beginning to prepare our 5th graders for Middle School! Please visit our Middle School Transition Activities page for more details.
Allergy Season is right around the corner!
It’s hard to focus in school or take a test with watery, itchy eyes and lots of sneezing and a runny nose, headache or sore throat.
Start thinking about those allergy medications now. As pollen levels start to elevate, please make sure your child is taking their allergy medicine/eye drops at home before they leave for school.
Helpful tips:
- Hydrate: Drink plenty of water to keep fluids in motion so irritants are flushed out.
- Rest: Get plenty of sleep so that your immune system can function at its peak.
(6-13 years old need 9-11 hours of sleep a night)
- Clean: Change your pillow cases frequently to stop re-contamination.
- Bathe: Wash hands and shower or bathe after being out in the pollen.
Here are is a good website to check the current pollen count and get ideas for allergy and asthma sufferers. :
Pants, Pants, Pants!
