All classroom snacks/treats for students must be in individual portions and include a list of the ingredients. Treats may not be homemade. Please refrain from sending in treats that must be stored in a refrigerator or freezer. We have limited storage space and the office staff is not always available to store treats immediately which could result in spoilage.

Please keep in mind students need to be able to carry the treats to their classroom from the office.

As cold weather is upon us please be sure your child(ren) have a coat, gloves, mittens, hat and scarves for recess. Recess is 20 minutes long. Please note when the wind chill is 19° Fahrenheit or above, students will go outside for recess.

Please be sure to read the subject line of emails from transportation regarding busing issues. Transportation will identify the school in the subject line of the email when notifying parents of busing issues.

Kindergarten registration for the 2023-2024 school year will open at noon on Friday, January 6, 2023. We cannot wait to meet our newest cubs!

If your child will be picked up early from school, please send a note to school with your child. Please include the student's first and last name, homeroom teacher, time of pick up and the name of the person picking up your child. The person picking up your child must have photo ID on them.

Physical & Dental Forms: All state mandated Kindergarten and 3rd grade private dental forms and all Kindergarten private physical exam forms are due now. Screenings performed by the district dentist and physician will be held at the end of February and beginning of March. If you would like your child screened, please contact the health room.

Medication Information: If your child requires prescription or over-the-counter medication while at school, a medication authorization form must be completed by your physician. Once completed, please submit the paperwork, 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 keep a change of clothing in your child’s backpack, regardless of their age. 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.
