Greetings PS101 Families,

Due to some recent news items, I want to emphasize a crucial matter regarding the safety of our children at home, specifically in relation to medication.

It’s essential for all of us to be vigilant and take steps to ensure that our little ones do not have access to any medication not prescribed to them by a doctor. Children are naturally curious, and their exploration can sometimes lead them to places we might not expect.

To address this concern, please consider securing all medications in your home by using a lock on your medicine cabinet or placing them in a location that is out of reach for children. This simple precautionary measure can go a long way in preventing accidental ingestion.

Furthermore, take a moment to speak with your child about the importance of never putting anything in their mouths that is not explicitly given to them by a trusted adult or a healthcare professional. This conversation can serve as a crucial step in building awareness and ensuring their safety.

Thank you for your attention to this matter. Your commitment to creating a safe environment at home is instrumental in promoting the well-being of our children.

Take care,

GK
