2015/16 HULL YOUTH LACROSSE INDOOR LEAGUE!

2015/16 HULL YOUTH LACROSSE INDOOR LEAGUE

Hull Youth Lacrosse League's indoor 2015/16 Lacrosse season will be getting underway in November.

Over the past few years Hull Youth Lacrosse players have participated in the Legacy Indoor lacrosse league at The Hanover U Complex in Hanover.

We have had teams at the U15, U13 and U11 levels (U11 play in Pembroke).

The league runs from late November through early March.

For several of those years the Hull Youth Lacrosse program subsidized the entry fee per team each season. This year as a program we are not able to do this but still want the kids to have an opportunity to play if interested.

With that said, for Hull Youth Lacrosse to enter a team at any or all levels the cost is $3400.00 per team for 13 weeks at all levels, one game a week on Sunday. With 17 kids per team it works out to $200 a participant ($15.38 a week). The cost goes up or down depending on the number of players that register.

If your child or children are interested in playing please contact Chris Weber as soon as possible.

He will compile the number of players for each level and see where HYLAX stands.

If HYLAX has 17 at any or all levels we’ll move forward, collect the registration fees and register the teams.

Please feel free to check out the Legacy Indoor Lacrosse website for any details I may have missed.

If you have any questions feel free to contact Chris Weber at 781 925 2810 or chweberlax@comcast.net

Thanks

Chris Weber

President, Hull Youth Lacrosse

Grade 6 iPad Information!!!

Hello Grade 6 Students and Parents!

I have attached information about the iPads that will be going home on Thursday, September 3rd.


Grade 6 iPad Information: E-Mail, iTunes and iCloud Accounts


iTunes Information


Thank you,

Mr. Kelley
Assistant Principal

Welcome from the Memorial School Nurse!!!

 Welcome from the Memorial School Nurse!

My contact information is:

Sharon Striglio, R.N.

81 Central Avenue.  Tel. 781-925-2040, Ext. 1106  Fax 781-925-8002  sstriglio@town.hull.ma.us

Medications and Medical Conditions

Please notify the nurse of any acute or chronic medical conditions/injuries or medications regarding your child.  Medications or treatments can be given at school with parental permission and a doctor’s order.  If your child takes a medication daily in the morning, you may want to supply the nurse with a couple of doses just in case your child forgets to take it at home.

Flu vaccines

Flu vaccinations will again be offered to all Memorial Middle School students and their families.  Permission slips will be sent home with your child, and will be posted on the blog.  If you want your child to receive the influenza vaccine, please sign the permission slip and have your child return the form to the Nurse’s Office.

Physicals

If your child had a physical exam and/or immunizations by their primary care provider, please send a copy in to the nurse’s office.  This keeps their school health record and immunizations up to date.  All 7^th graders are mandated to have a physical exam and provide documentation of the physical and immunizations to the nurse’s office.  Any 8^th graders who have not sent in a physical/immunizations documentation, please do so ASAP.

Vision and Hearing Screenings

Vision and hearing screenings are done in the fall on all 7^th grade students.  Any abnormal findings will be communicated to the parent or guardian and further screening will be recommended.  If you have any concerns about your child’s vision or hearing, please call the nurse’s office and I will screen your child ASAP.

Postural Screening

Postural Screening is done in the spring on all students in grades 5-9.  Any abnormal findings will be communicated to the parent or guardian and further screening will be recommended.

Nutrition

Please remember to encourage your child to have a healthy breakfast.  Many students are coming to school without breakfast.  Breakfast is the most important meal of the day.  It is very difficult for a child to be alert and learn in the classroom if they have not had anything to eat in the morning.

Please notify the nurse and the food service director of any dietary restrictions or allergies.

Hygiene

Middle school is a time of tremendous growth and change.  Please encourage your child to be conscious of their hygiene.  They should be taking showers daily and using deodorant.

Sleep Habits

Middle School children typically need about 10 hours of sleep per night.  All electronic devices should be turned off during the night.  A good night’s sleep will help your child to do well in school.

Exercise

It is recommended that all children participate in 60 minutes of exercise per day.  This can be riding a bike, walking on the beach, playing a team sport, or playing frisbee in the backyard!

Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions or concerns about your child’s health!
