Winter Weather Reminders
As we approach the winter weather season, we want to remind you of the procedures in the event of a school closing. At this time, we have 2 remaining snow days built into our school calendar. Both of these days would be like a typical snow day. There is no expectation for students to complete work on a snow day. Once these days are exhausted, we will move to Flexible Instruction Days (FID). For reminders on what is expected please go to the following link https://www.boyertownasd.org/domain/1862.
The type of day being used will be communicated in the event of a school closure due to weather.

December News from the Nurse's Desk
Student illness at home:
Parents should continue to follow BASD policy as listed in the student handbook when deciding on whether or not to send a child to school. As stated in the BASD student handbook, if your child exhibits any of the following symptoms, it is recommended that you keep your child home from school and consult with the child’s primary health care provider for:
1. A cough interfering with your child’s sleep or ability to participate in school activities
2. A cough that is productive and has phlegm or is associated with fever or trouble breathing.
3. Fever: A temperature equal to or greater than 100 degrees without the use of a fever reducing medication. Please note that the student’s temperature should remain normal without the use of fever reducing medication for 24 hours prior to the return to school.
4. Nausea, Vomiting or diarrhea
5. Unusual skin eruptions, hives, or rash.
6. Redness or drainage from the eyes.
Please be sure to call the health room at 610-473-1770 to discuss your student’s symptoms as they occur.
Student illness in school:
If a student is sent to the health room during the school day and the school nurse determines that he/she needs to go home, a phone call will be placed to a parent or guardian. At that time, the school nurse will discuss the student’s symptoms and course of action needed for the student to return to school. If you have any questions or concerns about your student’s illness, please contact the health room at 610-473-1770.
Physical and Dental Exams:
Kindergarten: State mandated physical exams are due now for all students in kindergarten. An exam is considered acceptable if it was completed on September 1, 2020, or later. If you have not returned your child’s physical exam, please do so by emailing it to ekovach@boyertownasd.org or by faxing to 610-754-8349. If you need the school physician to perform the physical exam, please contact the Health Room by December 10, 2021.
Kindergarten and 3rd grade: State mandated dental exams are due now for all students in kindergarten and 3rd grade. An exam is considered acceptable if it was completed on September 1, 2020, or later. If you have not returned your child’s dental exam, please do so by emailing it to ekovachl@boyertownasd.org or by faxing to 610-754-8349. If you need the school dentist to perform the dental exam, please contact the Health Room by December 10, 2021.
**Blank forms can be obtained from the district website. From the BASD homepage, click on Health Services. Then scroll down and choose either Family Dental Form or Private Physical Exam Form.
Change of Clothing: Please consider keeping a change of clothing in your child’s backpack. Clothing can become soiled due to a bathroom accident, fall outside in the mud, or because of spilling food/drink. The health room may not have appropriately sized clothing, so if your child does have an accident of any sort, a parent will be called to bring clothing in for the child.
From the School Counselor....
If any NHUF family is experiencing a hardship this holiday season, please contact the school counselor (Mrs. Ong - song@boyertownasd.org) to find out about available community resources that might be of assistance to your family.
