COVID-19 Information: If your child tests positive for COVID-19, please fill out the COVID-19 attendance form found on the BASD website in the attendance folder. Students will need to isolate at home for 5 full days. If your child is symptomatic, the first day of symptoms is considered day 0. If your child is not symptomatic, the test date is considered day 0. Students may return on day 6 but must remain masked at school through the end of day 10.
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
