Parents are invited to come to the school to meet with Mr. Rohn and the PTCA. The purpose of these meetings are to learn about what the PTCA is doing to help our students and to hear updates on school issues from Mr. Rohn. It is a great way to have your voice heard. Similar types of meetings will take place in the evening during our PTCA general meetings.

Attention Grade 5 Parents
As we have in years past, we will be holding the NHUF Yearbook cover contest for all 5th graders that wish to participate. Each entry will be presented to the Yearbook crew and voted upon to have the honor of having their picture as either the front or back cover of this year's NHUF Yearbook. All entries will be included within the NHUF Yearbook. The drawings should include the school's name and the paper should measure 8 1/2" X 11" to ensure that the picture is not altered when printing. Please be sure that your student also signs their work.
Entries must be submitted to the main office by Monday, October 30th.
If you have any questions, please reach out to our Yearbook Captain, Missy Yetter, mpeters4119@gmail.com or Ashley Wittmer, ashleywittmer31@comcast.net.
Thank you,
NHUF PTCA
Lifetouch Picture Retake Day
Lifetouch will be back at NHUF Elementary for picture retakes on November 6th. Unwanted pictures should be brought to school and given to the photographer. If your child was absent on picture day, your child will be photographed on this day.
From the Nurse's Desk - September
Below you will find information regarding health room procedures. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact the health room nurses at 610-473-1770.
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
Change of Clothing: Please consider keeping a change of clothing in your child’s backpack. Clothing can become soiled due to a bathroom accident, fall outside in the mud, or because of spilling food/drink. The health room may not have appropriately sized clothing, so if your child does have an accident of any sort, a parent will be called to bring clothing in for the child.
