Hand Sanitizer Parent Permission Form

Dear Parents, McKeesport Pre-K Counts is required to obtain parent permission for administering hand sanitizer. Hand sanitizer will be used when entering the room, after coughing or sneezing, and before using shared sensory items. The use of hand sanitizer will tremendously help us to reduce the spread of illness, especially during the winter months. Staff members and children will NOT use hand sanitizer as a substitute for hand washing as required by safety regulations. Hand washing is still required after toileting and prior to eating. Hand sanitizers will be inaccessible to children when not in immediate use. A staff person will be physically present with and supervising any child who is using hand sanitizer. If you have any questions or concerns please talk to your child’s teacher.

I / we give permission for ______________________________ to receive hand sanitizer. Signed _____________________________________________ Date _______________________________________________ School Year Attended ___________________
