Sunscreen and/or Bug Spray should already be applied to your child before dropping off in the morning.

Sunscreens, lotions, creams, over the counter medicine, chap stick, prescription medicine –

The protocol will be to send us an email before you drop your child off in the AM. Then, hand the item to the staff person upon dropping off. Sarah and I typically read our email before 8:20 drop off or immediately after.

The email needs to tell us:

  • Name of the item
  • How much to use
  • What time to give or apply
  • If it needs to return home each day (i.e.) prescription medications

For example: Sunscreen, apply to face/arms/legs before going outside. Or, chapstick, use as needed.

Send your email to: kgaultmontessori@gmail.com, sarahspelbring@gmail.com and the child’s teacher. This will ensure the item(s) is retrieved ASAP.

Sending things to school via Montessori bag – If you are sending an above-mentioned item in the Montessori bag, please let us know via email.  We do not regularly check the children’s bags.
