What is the school policy regarding hand gels/sanitizers? With the flu season upon us, it is important that children wash their hands or use hand sanitizer/gel. Unfortunately, a few teachers are telling children not to use gels or hand sanitizer and actually making children wash it off their hands. If a parents wants their children to use gels/sanitizers teachers should not tell kids that they cannot use it. In all Health Department documentation on this subject, they are encouraging the use of gels/hand sanitizers.

The district is not allowing students to carry their own bottles of alcohol-based hand sanitizer in school because they are flammable and can be toxic if ingested. However, the district will be providing touch-free dispensers containing hand sanitizer in every classroom as well as in the cafeteria and nurse’s office so that student-use can be monitored under the direct supervision of a teacher or staff member.

Is someone going to do a walk through of the elementary playground before school starts? We noticed a lot of bees when we went.

Yes. The head custodian conducts a walk-through once a week to ensure the playground's safety. He has been notified about the bees and will keep an eye out for them. Once the bees are located they will be removed.
