Important Note From Cardigan’s Health Center
Posted February 21
Medications & Supplements: If your son needs medication for the upcoming Spring Break, you can request a supply by emailing healthcenter@cardigan.org and it will be ready for you to pick up. Please specify how many days supply you will need. Due to the long break you may need to get a refill before returning to campus. Return the remaining doses to the Health Center when your student returns.
On-Campus Haircuts
Posted September 27
Beginning Thursday, October 6, Cardigan will offer on-campus opportunities for student haircuts. The boys may sign up on their own or you can help arrange an appointment for your student by sending a message to nnowak@cardigan.org. The $30 price for an on-campus haircut will be billed to the student account. We can also organize off campus trips for boys with diverse hair types. Lastly, there may be times that we encourage a student to schedule an appointment if he is having trouble keeping his hair neat, clean, and out of his eyes. Please reach out to Director of Student Life Nick Nowak at nnowak@cardigan.org if you have questions.
