• Any medication that the school nurse is to administer to students is to be handed directly to the nurse by the parent or guardian ONLY, no exceptions. Elementary students are not permitted to carry medications on them in school at any time. A student’s unauthorized possession of medication presents a potential safety hazard in the school environment. For further information please see the Medication Policy below.

• Flu season is here, it is encouraged to get your childs yearly flu vaccination if you have not done so already. If you get your child immunized against the flu this year, please send in or email me an updated copy of immunizations to Bethany.Monticello@Sbschools.org. **PRESCHOOL STUDENTS ONLY are required to have their flu shots completed by December 31st, 2023 for continued enrollment in the program.**

As the construction continues on Roberts, we continue to struggle with a safe drop off and pick up.

ARRIVAL:

1) All parent drop off should come through the drop off line (entering from WALLER ONLY). Please DO NOT park in the lot and walk your students. Please DO NOT park on Roberts by the D Hall door to avoid the line. The safest and fastest drop off route is in the drop off line.

2) If you want to walk your child, you should park on Stillwell, Russet or Williams. Or, you can park in the Beekman Manor neighborhood and walk down the path to the school. Please do NOT drop your child off on Waller and then drive around the line through the parking lot.

3) After dropping off, you can only exit via Roberts (you may not go back through the parking lot to Waller). Cones will be set up to block the lot.

DISMISSAL:

1) Park in the lot or on Stillwell, Russet and Williams and pick up. Do not linger in the lot.
