Some medication reminders….
Just a reminder that if your child has long term medication in school e,g, inhalers or adrenaline pens it is parental responsibility to check these are in date and to replace as appropriate.
If your child has short term medication this should be brought to the office by an adult and collected by an adult at the end of the day if it needs to go home. A form needs to be completed by an adult for us to administer medication.
Thank you for your support.
Sunshine!
Finally some sunshine!
Please can we remind you that on occasions of warmer weather it is important to send your child to school with a water bottle and a sun hat. We also recommend suncream is applied before they attend school.
You can send a named bottle of sun cream to be stored in your child’s bag. Please note: adults will not apply sun cream for your child and they must NOT share it with other pupils.
Thank you for your support in ensuring children are safe and comfortable in warmer weather.
