Parents,
Please be reminded to keep your student at home and notify the school nursing office if your child has a fever or has nausea/vomiting. The nursing office is required to keep track of various illnesses for the State. Right now, BHS is seeing an increase in stomach virus symptoms among students.
Per State guidelines, a student must be fever free for 24 hours without the use of fever reducing medication before returning to school. A student must also be vomit free for 24 hours before coming back to school. Good communication with the nursing office will ensure you receive updated, accurate information on absences due to illness.
MD office visits and/or virtual visits are required to receive medical excuses for missed class time. Without a medical excuse, your child's time out of school will be unexcused. There will be no excuses given from the nursing office if a student comes to school and requests to go home before the start of 1st block.
Please call the nursing office with questions/concerns.
