Rumney Memorial School Families -There will be many things going on at the school throughout the summer - please email Lora at lgaudreault@u32.org if you need to get into the building so we can check with our Building Maintenance to make sure floors are safe to walk on. I will be checking email several times throughout the day, even when I'm not scheduled to work to ensure I meet everyone's needs throughout the summer. Thank you and have a wonderful Summer with your families!
It’s Tick Season Again!
Most of the tickborne diseases in VT are caused by bites from the blacklegged tick during early spring and late fall. The best way to prevent tickborne diseases is to prevent tick bites. Take these steps to protect yourself and your family from the diseases ticks spread; here are some suggestions from the VT Dept. of Health:
Walk in the center of trails to avoid contact with overgrown grass and brush.
Wear long pants and long sleeves. Tuck you socks over your pant legs.
Check your whole body (without clothing) after being outdoors.
If you spot a tick on your body, remove it using fine-tipped tweezers and pull straight up. Flush the tick down the toilet.
Contact your health care provider if you get any of these symptoms after a tick bite: fever, headache, joint pain, muscle aches, fatigue, or rash. Symptoms can start 3 to 30 days after a tick bite.

A student may receive a modified school meal or snack if they have a medical concern that requires an accommodation (not just a family or child food preference). A VT. Dept of Education Food Modification Form must be filled out by the medical provider. The kitchen staff has the form and it can be found on the RMS Webpage. MEDICAL MODIFIED SCHOOL MEAL APPLICATION
