We are off to a great start at SRS!
Here are some reminders from the health clinic.
SNACKS / WATER BOTTLES: Please send your child to school each day with a healthy snack (including short days on Wednesdays) and re-fillable water bottle.
HEALTH CONCERNS / MEDICATIONS:
Please reach out to me if your child has any health concerns that may have come up over the summer. Also, if your child is new to the school and you have any concerns, please reach out.
FOURTH GRADE PHYSICALS: Grade 4 is one of the grades DPH requires physical exam documentation in school (K, 4, 7 and 10). Any exam dated after September 1, 2021 works. Please send in a copy of your child’s most recent physical exam (in backpack, or scan and email to me at; jstiles@mpsd.org, or call pediatrician and request to have it faxed to: 781-834-5071). Thank you for your cooperation!
