Hand Sanitizer Use In School
Hand-washing is the best way to stop the spread of germs and keep everyone healthy. Our school district offers students the opportunity to wash their hands using soap and water and also provides alcohol-based hand sanitizers (ABHS). Information about ABHS at school and tips on how to use it effectively are available here. If you have any questions, please reach out to your school nurse.

Tick Bites and Tick Removal at School
Upon discovery of a tick bite, students are brought directly to the school nurse for care. Per the New York State Education Department, parents/guardians must provide permission for tick removal by the school nurse. This permission is needed each school year.
