PE

Greetings from the Slim Gym (new name for the gym, anyone?!) We had a great first week of PE last week! This year PE is scheduled a little differently, where students will get an entire week of PE every other week. This coming week is another PE week, and here are some reminders for students and families. Sneakers are required for PE. It is great if students can wear their sneakers each day during a PE week, or at least be sure a pair is packed in their bag. I always have spares just in case, but it is always better for students to have their own. If you need help getting your student a pair of sneakers, please let us know! We are also in search of extras for our collection in the gym. If you have any sneakers that are ready for a new home, we’d be happy to take them! We’re looking forward to another smashing year in the Slim Gym!


Let me know what ya think!

Notes from the Health Office

STAY UP TO DATE WITH YOUR VACCINES

You are up to date with your COVID-19 vaccines when you have received all doses in the primary series and all boosters recommended for you, when eligible.

CDC recommends:

• COVID-19 primary series vaccines for everyone ages 6 months and older

• COVID-19 boosters for everyone ages 5 years and older, if eligible.

• People who are moderately or severely immunocompromised follow specific recommendations for COVID-19 vaccines, including boosters.

• For people ages 12 years and older, the only authorized booster is the updated (bivalent) booster. You are eligible to get the updated COVID-19 booster two months after you’ve received your last COVID-19 vaccine, either of your primary series or booster.

• You can check the Vermont Department of Health Website for additional information: https://www.healthvermont.gov/covid-19/vaccine

• A list of walk-in clinics can be found here: https://www.healthvermont.gov/covid-19/vaccine#walkinclinic

Flu Vaccines

The Vermont Department of Health recommends that everyone six months and older get a flu shot. Getting the flu shot helps protect you, your family and your community. The flu vaccine and a COVID-19 vaccine can be given at the same visit. Your child's primary care provider can schedule a flu shot.
