In October 2018, the Pennsylvania School Code was amended to include a section on Sun Protection Measures for Students. Section 1414.10 states that a school entity shall allow the application of sunscreen during school hours, at a school-sponsored activity, or while under the supervision of school personnel. Review the full legislation, which is available on the Pennsylvania General Assembly’s website: www.legis.state.pa.us.  

Parents/guardians may choose to supply their child with non-aerosol topical sunscreen and/or non-aerosol insect repellent, if it is approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.  

Parents/guardians must complete and submit the following information in order for their child to apply sunscreen and/or insect repellent during school hours, at a school-sponsored activity, or while under the supervision of school personnel.

If we do not have this form on file for your student, they will not be permitted to apply sunscreen or insect repellent on campus. A "no" answer to either of the sunscreen or insect repellent questions below will also mean that your child will not be permitted to apply sunscreen or insect repellent on campus.

*Sunscreen and/or bug repellant can NOT be applied by COS staff. If your student is unable to apply sunscreen, please apply these items prior to their arrival at school in the morning.
