CONVAL SCHOOL NURSE NEWSLETTER

Welcome to the beautiful month of May!

It's time to think about getting outdoors and enjoying the warm sunshine.

We would like to share some information to help protect you and your family.

The best way to protect yourself and your family from ticks is to PREVENT them from being on your body by:

• Wearing tick repellent clothing and shoes
• Tucking long pants into socks
• Having long sleeves
• Using insect repellent,
• Staying to the center of paths when walking or hiking

After you come indoors CHECK your body, your child, your pets and clothing for ticks. https://tickfreenh.org/check/

REMOVE any tick you find. If you find a tick on your body, your children, or your pets it is important to remove it immediately. For information on how to safely remove a tick, click here: https://tickfreenh.org/remove/

For more information on tick safety visit https://tickfreenh.org/ and https://tickencounter.org/

• Parents are reminded to apply sunscreen and/or bug spray at home before arriving to school as our students are able to spend more time outside.
• Hats and sunglasses are also encouraged as we enjoy more hours of sunshine!
