Rising Star Preschool Pesticide Notification

Dear Parents, The Healthy Schools Act of 2000 (as amended by Assembly Bill 2865, Chapter 865, and Status of 2006) requires that all schools and child day care centers provide parents or guardians of children who are enrolled at the facility with the annual written notification of expected pesticide use. The notification will identify the active ingredients in each pesticide product and will include the Department of Pesticide Regulation’s School Integrated Pest Management (IPM) Web site (http://www.schoolipm.info) for further information on pesticides and their alternatives. We will send out annual notifications.
