In accordance with Perkiomen Valley School Board Policy 210.2 students may only possess and self-apply non-aerosol topical sunscreen under the conditions outlined below. This policy was updated in 2018 when the PA School Code was amended to include sun protection measures for students.

Students are permitted to possess and self-apply a non-aerosol topical sunscreen without a physician's note or prescription under the following conditions:

1. Non-aerosol topical sunscreen product is approved by the FDA for over-the-counter use for the purpose of limiting ultraviolet light-induced skin damage.
   
2. The parent/guardian submits the parent permission form to the school nurse.
   
3. Permission to possess may be revoked if the student fails to comply with school rules concerning the possession, application, and use of the non-aerosol topical sunscreen product.
   
4. A parent permission form will need to be completed each school year.

We strongly encourage students to apply sunscreen prior to coming to school for any outdoor events. If your child does need to reapply sunscreen during Field Day and/or any other outdoor school event, the form linked further down must be completed and returned to the school nurse.

If your child does have permission to use sunscreen please remind them that they cannot share this with other students.

If you would like for your child to use sunscreen during the school day, please print, complete, and return this form to our school nurse With this signed form, your child may carry sunscreen into school and self-apply it.
