Contact Tracing Reminder
Please help do your part and notify the school nurse if you have had exposure to COVID-19 or if your child has 1 or more COVID-19 symptoms. Contact tracing is critical to keeping Illinois healthy and slowing the spread of COVID-19.
Station Athletics
As we look ahead to March, there are several opportunities for students to participate in Station Athletics. If your child is participating in sports, this is a great time to make sure that they have a current physical on file in the nurse's office. Physicals are valid for 13 months. Information on registering for the sports listed below will be sent via email to all parents next week.

As always, volunteers are needed to help judge at this year’s Speech Tournament. This is a wonderful way to give back to the community and see some talented students perform as well! We are in great need of community members to volunteer, no experience necessary! BHS juniors/seniors and college students are also welcome (a great way to earn service hours!). Please contact Ms. Alissa Borck with your name and phone number at aborck@barrington220.org, if you would like to participate in this fun and rewarding event!
