Parent/Principal/PTCA Coffee

Parents are invited to come to the school to meet with Mr. Rohn and the PTCA. The purpose of these meetings are to learn about what the PTCA is doing to help our students and to hear updates on school issues from Mr. Rohn. It is a great way to have your voice heard. Similar types of meetings will take place in the evening during our PTCA general meetings.

Monday, November 6 - 9:00-11:00 AM

Tuesday, March 5 - 9:00-11:00 AM

FID (Flexible Instruction Days)

BASD has the ability to utilize one snow day and 5 flexible instruction days throughout the school year in the event that inclement weather or other emergency school closing. Your child’s teacher will review these directions with your child early next week. In the event of an unexpected school closing, the district message will define what type of day is being used. Digital and paper/pencil options will be provided. If a student cannot access the Internet or paper copies of the learning activities, he/she will have three (3) school days to complete the assignments. Any student who fails to complete their FID assignment within three school days will be marked as absent.

Dear 3rd and 4th grade Parents,

Is your child interested in learning the VIOLIN, VIOLA, CELLO, or BASS? We just finished giving string demonstrations and can't wait to get started teaching our beginner musicians! All students should have received an informational packet, but please reach out if you have any questions! The Elementary Orchestra Program is open to students in 3rd, 4th, and 5th grade in the Boyertown Area School District.

Sign up here by Friday, September 8th: https://tinyurl.com/BASDStringSignUp

Physical & Dental Forms: All state mandated Kindergarten and 3rd grade private dental forms and all Kindergarten private physical exam forms are due now. If you have an upcoming appointment, please notify the health room of the appointment and we will make note of the date in your child’s record.

Medication Information: If your child requires prescription or over-the-counter medication while at school, a medication authorization form (found on the BASD website) must be completed by your physician. Once completed, please submit the paperwork, and then contact the health room to schedule an appointment to drop off your child’s medication. Prescription medications must be in an original pharmacy labeled container. Over-the-counter medication must be in original packaging. Please refer to the BASD website for more information.

Returning Paperwork: Please return any health room forms (Physical, Dental, Medication) via email if possible. You can scan and email the original document or email a photograph from your phone to either ewismer@boyertownasd.org or ekovach@boyertownasd.org

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.
