2019 Summer School
Notes from the Nurse
It's field trip season here at MJ1! Please make sure your child is adequately prepared for their class trips. If your child will be going to the park or beach, please make sure that you apply liberal amounts of sunscreen prior to sending them to school. It will be very difficult for teachers to make sure every student has sunscreen on, or to reapply it throughout the day. Having your child wear a swim shirt may be helpful in preventing sunburn as well.
Bug repellent should be worn to prevent mosquito bites and, if applicable, have your child wear long pants to avoid tick bites. Please check your child for ticks frequently. Tick bites can kill or leave a child very sick. The following links have very good information regarding ticks:

Reminders about Immunizations for 2019-2020
With the school year drawing to an end, we'd like to remind parents to make sure their student is up to date on their immunizations for next school year. The chart below indicates which vaccines are required for students entering each grade. Students entering 6th grade in the fall require a Tdap booster. Please check with your physician or the Oneida County Health Department at (715) 369-6111 so that your student can receive their immunizations prior to entering school in the fall. Parents of students who are not in compliance will be notified and those students may be excluded from school.
If your child will be playing a sport, please make sure they have an up to date sports physical. Sport Physicals are good for two years. If you have any questions please contact the nurse by calling (715) 356-5206 x2204 or e-mail pholtz@mhlt.org.
