Rutledge Hall is off to what we hope will be a very healthy school year. At this time, I would like to share several reminders with you.

1. Please insure that your student(s) have breakfast every morning. For those mornings when people are running late, it is helpful to have some"food to grab" such as a banana, breakfast or granola bar, or bag of ceral such as cheerios.Students need this nourishment to start the day off right.

Class Picnics and Field Day

Class picnics and field day are fast approaching!! Remember that your student will be outside the majority of the day. It is important to pay attention to the following:

1. appropriate dress- dress for the weather- clothing should be comfortable, but also sun protective. Short

sleeve shirts protect the shoulders from the sun. Ideally, shorts should be knee length.

Shoes must be supportive of the foot and ankle. Hats and sunglasses protect the face.

Correct shoe attire

The wonderful season of spring is accompanied by activities at school that require proper footwear.Students are running in gym, and with field day approaching, it is important that proper athletic shoes are worn. The shoe should provide adequate support and cushioning to the entire foot ; the thin canvas shoes do not. It is also important to always wear an athletic sock. Please evaluate your child's shoes to assure that these safety standards are met. Injuries can be prevented when attention is given to shoe selection.
