Stanford Gibson and Perry Browne:
Please send your child with an extra change of clothing (pants, shirt, underwear, socks) as the nurse’s office is very limited. This will prevent the nurse’s office from inconveniencing the parent/guardian from having to bring in a change of clothes if needed.

Please send your child with appropriate winter clothing (i.e., hats, gloves, snow pants and boots).
When to keep your child home:
