Greetings Pleasant Grove Staff and Parents,
Pleasant Grove Elementary School must ensure the well-being and safety of all of its students and staff to support a safe learning environment for students as well as a safe work environment for staff. Strong scents and fragrances can contribute to poor indoor air quality which can be unhealthy for all students and staff.
Many people experience unpleasant physical effects from scented products and a growing number of people suffer more severe reactions to these types of products and chemicals. Allergic and asthmatic patients, as well as those with other conditions, report that certain odors, even in the smallest amounts, can trigger an episode.
To promote a fragrance-free environment and avoid potential exposure for those who may be affected, please note the following guidelines:
Please do not bring cleaning products, deodorizers, or other personal care products into the classroom unless they are identified as fragrance-free.
Please do not wear perfume, cologne, and other fragrances. Fragrance products can also include scented hand sanitizers, cologne, perfume, scented lotions, hair products, candles, air fresheners, plug-ins, and strong detergent products; just to name a few.
Consider using unscented personal care products.
Cleaning products with strong scents will only be used during off-peak school hours. Students, parents, and staff will be notified if strong-scented cleaning materials will be used on the campus.
Staff, parents, and students will need to remain off campus during routinely scheduled maintenance cleaning of the cafeteria, school building, and grounds to adhere to safety regulations; which include and is not limited, to weekend and summer waxing of the facility floors.
Thank you in advance for your cooperation.
