Once the 4th of July comes, it seems like the summer kicks into high gear. At Notre Dame, we have been busy preparing for the fall - including scheduling students, hiring new staff members and preparing our welcome for the Class of 2015 and our transfer students. We hope you have had time to enjoy the summer thus far and have also found some time to rest. We look forward to seeing everyone on August 30.

Medical Requirements from the Nurse
Please remember to submit completed sports physicals only to the school nurse. Physicals are effective for 13 months. Your child may not participate in fall sports without a current, up-to-date physical. The nurse will return any physical forms that is not completed properly and meet state requirements.
Please update the school nurse on any changes regarding your child's health problem, or if your child has no further health problem and you would like his/her name removed from the Health Alert List. This enables the nurse to keep current your child's health care plan and meet needs in the event of an emergency. If the nurse does not receive a response, she will assume that there have been no changes in your child's health. The nurse will continue with the current health plan of your child.
Contact Mrs. Meg Muldoon via email or at 203-372-6521.
