The program will run mornings on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays, July 7 - August 6 and will consist of two courses per day. Students who qualify are able to take one or both sessions this summer, and if they and successfully complete the program, reclaim up to two credits.

May is National Fitness & Sports Month
May is National Fitness and Sports Month, a great reminder for students (and adults) to stay active and support their overall health and well-being. Physical activity offers many benefits, including improved brain health, better sleep, reduced anxiety/depression, strong bones/muscles, and weight management. Regular activity increases energy, enhances academic performance, and boosts self-esteem. Kids and teens ages 6-17 need at least 60 minutes of physical activity every day. Looking for ways to help your kids get more physical activity? See this link

Health Tips
🌷
As we move into spring, seasonal allergies are becoming more common for many students. Seasonal allergies typically refer to allergies triggered by pollen. Pollen is only released by plants during certain times of the year; because of this, these allergies aren’t year-round.
In Massachusetts, tree pollen is the main allergen in the spring. Nasal allergies, caused by pollen, can lead to itchy, watery eyes, runny noses, sneezing, and coughing.
Please note that the nursing office does not stock or provide allergy medication. All allergy medications must be administered at home before the school day. If your student requires medication during the school hours, a physician’s order and parent/guardian permission must be on file per school policy.
Please call or email the nurse with any questions or concerns!
