Female community bathrooms are now outfitted with dispensers for feminine hygiene pads. They are free and will be monitored and refilled on a regular basis. Our school counselor, Maya Lidell is meeting with female students in grades four and five to notify them of the products and how to get one from the dispenser. If your child uses these products, please discuss with her how to properly dispose of them in the bathroom to help us avoid pads being flushed in the toilet.
Families, please join us virtually on Monday, March 7th For Wellness Night!
