Northwest ISD policy does not allow district staff to apply sunscreen or bug spray to students in order to prevent any potential allergic reaction. As such, we recommend your child applies either substance before coming to the OLC. Students are also allowed to bring lotion or wipe-on sunscreen – not spray-based sunscreen – for themselves; they should not share this with other students.

Here are some resources to help you choose the best protection for you and your child, while also learning more about what Mosquitoes are:
