Bus Information
Durham is launching a new BusZone app for parents to see the location of their student's bus. The app is ready for use and will become the source of Durham's late bus notifications beginning Monday, February 5. Parents will have the next couple of weeks to transition to the new app. The current Durham Bus Tracker App will be deactivated after Feb 16.
Durham emailed BusZone information through our bus routing software, which will link to an online parent user guide.
Remind students to check the lost and found. All unclaimed items will be donated on Friday, March 15th.
NURSE INFO
Parents, please go into your Infinite Campus parent portal and update the Health services information (Health Conditions and Medication Authorization). This permits the School Nurse to administer over-the-counter medications such as Ibuprofen, Tylenol, cough drops, and antacids to your student while at school. I've attached the instructions for Infinite Campus in the email.
Immunization Information:
The immunization and physical requirements are the same for students participating in the on-line program as the in-person classroom. Please refer to the different grade level requirements listed below. Please bring your physical with you to registration.
7th Grade: Immunizations and PE physical
All students entering 7th grade are required to have 1 recent Tdap and 1 Meningococcal vaccine prior to the first day of school. All other immunization requirements need to be up to date as well. Please review your student’s immunization status with your healthcare provider to ensure that your student meets these requirements. Incoming 7th graders are required to have a PE physical on file for PE/Sports participation. The physical examination must be completed after May 1st of the student's 6th-grade year.

Immunizations need to be up to date if not done in the 7th grade and a PE physical completed if not done in the 7th grade.

Spirit Wear
Our spirit wear store is AWESOME! We have sport-specific items, accessories, backpacks, and more. Purchase it all at the Les Bois Junior High Corner Store.LBJH FEMININE HYGIENE PRODUCT DRIVE
Parents, we need your help!
We are organizing a parent-led feminine hygiene product drive. Feminine hygiene products are not supplied by the district, and our health office could use extra supplies. Goods donated will go to the nurse to supply our students with needed products each month.
This is an ongoing need, and we are hoping to build a supply to last through the end of the year and hopefully beyond.
To help, please click on the link: LBJH Amazon Wish List to view and purchase items. All items will go directly to Les Bois and will be given to the nurse. If you would like to drop off products, you may do so by leaving them at the front office.
Please let us know if you have any questions and thank you for supporting our school.
Sincerely,
LBJH PTO
