Sunscreen Safety
Our annual sunscreen program will begin this month. We will be using Rocky Mountain Sunscreen. Rocky Mountain Sunscreen is a broad spectrum sunscreen that meets or exceeds the new FDA requirements.
Application will be 15 minutes prior to lunch time recess and reapplied to all students in our Afterschool program 15 minutes prior to that recess.
Sunscreen is considered a medication by the Idaho Department of Health and Welfare, thus we are regulated on how sunscreen can be used in our program. Due to regulations, parents either choose to participate in our sunscreen program or apply sunscreen at home prior to school. The school is unable to apply multiple brands and types of sunscreen as it poses risk to students with allergies to certain ingredients in some sunscreens.
Please review the sunscreen ingredients list on the permission slip form and determine it the sunscreen program is the right fit for your child. There is no cost associated with our sunscreen program. We will not apply sunscreen unless permission is in writing.
