JRB Gear Now Available For Families
The staff here at JRB has had a chance over the past few years to order Briggs gear to show our pride for JRB. We are now excited to offer it to families too! Use this link, or click the picture above to check out what is there. We will add new items as they are suggested as well. Please take note if items are youth, womens, or universal. Feel free to make suggestions using this form.
There will be a Spirit Week Dec. 16-20. More on that next week.
Nursing Notes
Hello Families!
***The Massachusetts Department of Public Health (MDPH) has observed a significant rise in cases of the respiratory illnesses caused by Mycoplasma pneumoniae (walking Pneumonia and Bordetella pertussis (Whooping Cough) across the Commonwealth in recent weeks. Please see below for reminders for managing and preventing spread of these respiratory infections.***
If your student is experiencing a cough and/or severe cold that seems to be getting worse or not going away after a week, we strongly encourage you to have them seen by their Primary Care Physician. If you feel as though your student needs to be medicated in the morning to make it through the day, please consider keeping them home to rest. If your student is out sick with a fever, vomiting, and/or diarrhea, please see the following policies before you send them back to school:
- 24 hour Fever Free without the use of fever reducing medication
- 24 hours without vomiting/diarrhea
- If diagnosed with strep throat, 24 hours after first dose of antibiotic
