A Message from Mrs. Saks, School Nurse:
There have been some situations recently surrounding the administration of medications at school.
In general, please do not send any form of medication to school with your child (this includes any over-the -counter medications, ointments, creams and cough drops). Short term medications such as antibiotics and eye drops that require multiple doses throughout the day ideally should be administered before school, after school, and before bed—usually pediatricians
are ok with this dosing schedule.
If that dosing schedule cannot be accommodated, there are two options: 1) the medication permission form is required to be filled out and signed by the doctor, and medication should be brought in by the parent in its original container and left at school (students are not to be transporting medication to and from school). Or 2) a parent or designee can come in to administer the medication to the student .
Emergency medications (epi-pens, seizure medications, asthma inhalers) are to be brought in at the
beginning of the school year with the required paperwork. This paperwork needs to be renewed every year.
More detailed information is in the school handbook, or you may call me with any questions. Thank you for helping the school district keep our students healthy!
If your child is interested in joining the Spring 2024 Girls on the Run team, go to gotrpa.org and select Register, 3-5th Program and Schwenksville Elementary as the site.
Starting February 24th for 8 weeks, our team will practice M/W from 3:30-4:45.
Financial aid is available. Please reach out to Mrs. Krauss LKrauss@pvsd.org or Miss Barth RBarth@pvsd.org with any questions!
This is a great video that offers a helpful shoe tying technique.
Please remind students to:
- make sure their shoes are tied before leaving home in the morning.
- make sure their shoes are tied before going into the hallways and using the stairs.
It has been quite chilly the past few days. Please be sure that your student comes to school with a coat, hat, gloves, etc. as we go out for recess every day, weather permitting. Recess is 30 minutes and that is a long time to be outside without a coat. Some students tell us that they are fine with just a sweatshirt and that they didn't bring a coat. We like for students to at least have their coat outside with them and available in the event they become cold.
Thank you for helping us to make sure students are warm while outside for recess.
The cold weather is on its way! If you are in need of assistance with securing a new winter coat for your child, please complete the request form or reach out to our School Counselors, Mrs. Kent (Grades K, 2, & 4) or Mrs. Strano (Grades 1, 3, & 5).
