Please Help us Help your Child!

It would be very helpful for students of ALL ages to have a full set of extra clothing at

school. Accidents can happen at any age, any time and any location: art class, cafeteria,

recess, etc. Also, winter has arrived so wet snow, puddles and mud can potentially create

issues. Any clothing soiled with body fluids, such as blood, MUST be changed.

Fortunately, Brown School students have large, individual lockers that can accommodate

backpacks, shoes, jackets and a Ziploc bag of extra clothes.

We ask that you please send in extra full set of clothes

to be kept at school for your child(ren).

This will help reduce time spent out of the classroom searching or waiting for clothes.

Please include underwear and socks because they often get wet from snow and puddles.

In the future, parents may need to be contacted during the school day to bring in

replacement clothing for urgent situations.

Thank you for your assistance.
