Please consider getting your flu vaccinations now as it is recommended for all children and adults. Pre-schoolers up to 60 months of age are required to have a flu vaccination to attend school. The deadline for vaccination for those children is by December 31. Please submit proof of vaccination to the Health Office once received.
 

Please review the NJDOE School Health Mandates and Resources

Continue to use sunscreen year round, bug repellent as needed, and do routine head checks for lice and ticks throughout the school year. Please apply sunscreen or bug repellent BEFORE school as teachers and nurses are NOT permitted to apply these without a doctor's order.

Avalon Stone Harbor Schools recognizes the growing number of students enrolling in our schools with potentially life-threatening food allergies. As public educators we recognize our responsibility to develop appropriate health plans for students with food allergies that detail emergency treatment while proactively addressing conditions to prevent exposure to specific allergens. We believe that communication between school and family is the best way to achieve this goal while thoughtfully increasing the student’s independence to care for him/herself.

As an educational institution, we believe in our capacity to educate our families, teachers, and students so that they better understand life-threatening food allergies. This will create school communities that differentiate strategies for food allergies with the same generous spirit and understanding demonstrated for differentiated learning styles and other health-related student needs.
