DON'T FORGET TO PACK!

Parents please have an extra complete outfit (including socks and underwear) in your child's backpack. Unfortunately accidents do happen and a change of clothes may be needed during the course of a school day. I have a limited supply of clothes in the clinic. An extra outfit will ensure that your child does not miss class time and working parents don't have to leave work. Don't forget to make sure the extra outfits are appropriate for the current season.
