Spring has sprung! Along with it, comes allergy season. Please be aware that any student who needs to remain indoors during recess due to allergies MUST HAVE A DOCTOR’S NOTE! Also, please be sure to take steps to reduce exposure to allergens for your child.
1. Be sure your child is using prescribed medication and/or allergy eye drops (if applicable) to control allergy symptoms.
