Davis News & Happenings October 13, 2026
As we do each October, we are asking for parent/guardian cooperation in filling out a survey form to meet the requirements of Public Law 874. Under the provisions of Public Law 874, Bedford Public Schools must conduct an annual Federal Military Impact Aid Survey. The Town of Bedford receives a substantial sum of money under this provision, which lowers the cost of education to the taxpayers.
Please help us identify all federally connected students whose families are Active Duty Military, live on Hanscom AFB, OR work on federal facilities including Hanscom AFB, Bedford VA, Boston VA, Lincoln Public School on HAFB, Lincoln Labs, Mitre, and more!
Our yearly survey is fully electronic with e-signature. Parents/Guardians will receive a unique survey for each enrolled child. It is very important that all surveys are completed and electronically signed for each student, as reimbursement is made for all eligible students on a per-pupil basis. You may request a paper survey copy.
We thank you very much for your assistance with this important annual survey. For all questions regarding this matter, please contact the Business Office at bps-impactaidsurvey@bedfordps.org or 781-275-7708 for assistance.

Our friends from Haywood Photography will once again be with us for Picture Day, scheduled for Thursday, October 15th. The link below is the electronic order form. All instructions, including the pre-order school code (DAVF26) are on the form.
The pre-order option (lower pricing) will be available until October 20th at 7:00am. Haywood Photography encourage families to order by this time to take advantage of the pre-order pricing and lower shipping and handling fees.
Hello Davis School parents and guardians,
I hope this email finds you well. For those of you I haven’t met, I’m Jackie, the Public Health Nurse for the town.
The Health Department is partnering with Davis School to offer a flu vaccine clinic to Davis School students on Thursday, October 22nd during the school day. The clinic will offer both the traditional flu vaccine and the intranasal flu vaccine (FluMist).
It is required that you register your student in advance of the clinic. Please note that there are limited spaces available and registration will close on October 8th.
To register for the flu vaccine clinic, click here: https://home.color.com/vaccine/register/bedford?calendar=be6c641a-e339-4409-a785-ae8ac0d4e70e&site=davis-school-1. Please note that you will have to choose an appointment time as part of the registration process – this is a default in the system. Please choose any time available – students will be called down based on teacher, not based on appointment time. We do collect and bill most insurances as we rely upon insurance reimbursements to purchase the vaccine given. There is no out-of-pocket cost to receive the vaccine. If your student does not have health insurance, you are still able to register them to receive a flu vaccine at no-cost, just click "no, I do not have health insurance" when registering them.
If you are unable to make this clinic, Bedford Health Department’s Town-Wide Clinic will be offering traditional and intranasal flu vaccine to those 3 years of age and older on Saturday, October 17th, 9:00AM – 12:00 PM. The registration link will be posted shortly to the Health Department’s Flu Vaccine Clinic Information – Community page.
Please email me with any questions at jbarmashi@bedfordma.gov or call the Health Department at 781-275-6507.
Sincerely,
Jackie Barmashi, BS, BSN, RN
