Nurse's Corner

Happy Winter  from the Nurse's Office! As we make our way through a tough flu season I wanted to provide you with a few suggestions on staying healthy. At Montgomery we are doing our part to keep our students healthy and free from illness. While your children are at school, they are encouraged to wash their hands frequently, especially before and after eating and after using the restroom.  Hand sanitizer is provided in each classroom and in the Dining Room. Click here for a few ideas that you can reinforce with your children at home.

We appreciate your cooperation as we try and keep Monty as healthy as possible this winter! As always, please feel free to contact Robin Chronowski with any questions or concerns you may have.
