Mohegan Update 11/22
November 22, 2024
It feels like the weather went from summer to winter in about one week! As a reminder, we do bring students outside for recess unless the wind chill is below 30 degrees. Please be sure your children come to school with coats and hats and gloves for the cold weather outside.

PRE-K NEWS
As a reminder, Connecticut immunization regulations require students ages 24-59 months attending Pre-K to receive at least one dose of the Flu vaccine between August 1st and December 31st. If this is the first time your child is ever receiving the Flu vaccine, two doses administered at least 28 days apart is required by the Connecticut immunization regulations. Please call your Pediatrician to schedule an appointment as soon as possible to prevent any delays or vaccine shortages! If you have any questions, please contact Nurse Cristina.
