Instrumental Music
Has your child always wanted to play an instrument? You’re invited to attend an informational meeting to learn more about the instrumental music program in Central Bucks and to meet our new preferred rental vendor, Zeswitz Music.
Join us on Wednesday 9/5 or 9/12 at CB West High School at 7:00pm to learn more. Your child will also attend an assembly the first week of school where they will meet their teacher and see all of the instruments that are offered.
If you have any questions, you may visit www.cbsd.org/instruments for more information.

News from the Health Office
Welcome back!
I hope everyone had a nice enjoyable and relaxing summer. Please return the physical and/or dental forms which may be required for your student. Central Bucks School District is state mandated to ensure that each student in certain grade levels has a dental and physical examination. Physicals are required upon entry, grade 6 and 11. Dentals are required upon entry, grade 3 and 7. The forms for these examinations were sent home in the spring and need to be returned to school by October 15th.
If we do not receive the required examination(s) prior to October 15th your child will not be permitted to go on any field trips until proper documentation is received. During an audit, Central Bucks can be cited by the state for non-compliance if all dental and physical examination records are not on file. More importantly, having up to date and accurate medical information about our students will better insure that we can respond appropriately to any medical needs students present at school.
Also, if you have not already done so, please log into parent portal and complete the emergency form, last year this was called census verification. We can contact a parent and access emergency information from this information if needed. Additionally, on this site you can give us permission in the health room to administer Tylenol and/or Ibuprofen (Advil/Motrin) to your child as needed.
CHIP offers health coverage to uninsured children up to the age of 19 in PA. Please see the attached flyer for more information. Should anyone need an application we have them in the health room.
Thank you,
Karen DeArmond
Certified School Nurse
